For the same reasons, there would be no need to
upgrade your Linux
version, and you don't need driver updates. The current closed-source
driver will still work in 5 years.
Now, you're twisting everything to fit a twisted view. Software is
changed much more often than hardware. I'm using linux-2.6.9 with
glibc-2.3.4-20040828 on a p3-600 with 384Mio RAM. It's my main
computer. I also got linux-2.6.9 on my 5 other computers (down to
300MHz).
I'm not buying a new computer before I can buy a GPU that is supported
with libre software drivers. (unless I get my friends old computers).
