I do. They should just keep up the NV drivers

Nouveau drivers also work AND SUPPORT THE SAME HARDWARE, instead of

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" ;-)
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. And the decision
to replace a "known working product" with a "flaky experimental
product"
makes me question their project management abilities, too.
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.
