Hi danfe,

While I've got your attention, could I trouble you to check out PR 217341 and 
commit it before the quarterly branch if it looks good? It would be nice to 
have the nvidia drivers current. I was recently asked by the reporter of 
216574,which is blocked by the former, to look at these.

Also, is nvidia-driver something that you want to maintain, or should x11@ 
take up maintainership? I am not asking to take it away if you'd like to keep 
up the maintenance, just offering to take the burden if you'd rather not carry 
it since I know you have many other ports to maintain.
