This is a test release.  Period.  Yes, forget about the end user, because
this is a test release.  nVidia's drivers are a black box.  There is no
way to tell if they are broken because of a change that a developer made
or a wrong assumption nVidia made.  Using developer time to probe a black
box with a stick is a waste of developer time.

You contradict yourself.  What you are really saying "you can go forward,
but only as far as nVidia will let you".  Nope, doesn't work that way. 
Should AMD no have released the AMD64 because nVidia didn't have a display
driver for it?

nVidia support isn't a feature of Fedora.  Fedora support is a feature (or
in the case of test releases, not a feature) of nVidia's driver.
