Yes i think this is the best solution for nvidia.ko users. Use the livna 
package and rely on an explicit versioned Requires:. This will act as a 
"reminder" to add the proper --excludes if you try to run a 'yum -y 
update' during an uncaffeinated morning. Now I guess we just need new 
maintainer for the livna package...
