[1] We still default to the proprietary driver when it is available and the user doesn't decline. We'll try to make sure any bugreports we get are first confirmed with nouveau git before forwarding them to you. We introduced Nouveau as an optional driver exactly two years ago, and for the previous release we added the module to our regular kernels (e.g. 2010.0 One live images can be booted with nouveau with xdriver=nouveau parameter).
