That way lies madness.

Right now DRI/DRM breaks VT switch and suspend on my laptop. Should we
ship two Intel drivers and two kernels until this is resolved?

During the Fedora 8 devel cycle, NetworkManager didn't support WPA for
a time. Should we have shipped two versions of NetworkManager and let
users choose between them?

If it doesn't work, it's a bug. Fix the bug. Not ship a version for
each set of bugs that exists.
