What's wrong with supporting vendors that support open source?

I don't see any open source drivers there, so why do you say that they 
support open source?

Well, these closed source drivers may be there today.  Will they be there 
tomorrow?  When a new kernel comes out, is there any chance that NVidia 
might change their mind, decide not to invest any more resources into 
support AMD64, and stop providing bug fixes and updates?

I know I won't have that problem with an open source driver.
