It's realy pretty useless already and people trying to use it just generate PRs and messages to this list. It's unfortunate that Nouveau has become so Linux-centric that is is not viable as a FreeBSD driver, but that is really water under the bridge and, by all reports, the proprietary driver works quite well for most nvidia hardware. (I no longer have a working nVidia device, so I am really just kibitzing.)
