Nice fantasy. I used to be able to read C++ code, but that was long ago.
I think the real problem is that like a few other Linux communities (and
Mac OS X and Windows), Debian doesn't listen to users. I do. They should just keep up the NV drivers
that DO work until the
Nouveau drivers also work AND SUPPORT THE SAME HARDWARE, instead of
dropping NV completely.
You are free to download the source here :
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/xserver-xorg-video-nv
and patch it to make it work on debian/sid.
Then, you gone be a part of "They" ;-) And the decision
to replace a "known working product" with a "flaky experimental
product"
makes me question their project management abilities, too.
hell yeah, shit happens :)
Related to this discussion, Jake Edge has just written a very good
article called "Changes and complaints":

A friend of mine doesn't run Sid, he runs the
current Stable, and that
apparently doesn't include NV, either.
Reminds me the KDE4 fiasco: KDE stopped supporting KDE3 the moment
KDE4.0 shipped, but KDE4 didn't become ready for primetime until 4.5.
