That's exactly it. Dave Airlie keeps both the X and kernel side of DRI in check in Fedora, and with him being the DRI maintainer, he tends to have a good handle on the state of things. Nouveau has been a bit bumpy, and isn't ready for mass-use, which is why we don't enable it by default. We ship it, but a user has to actually install it, and set it up to explicitly use it instead of the 'nv' X driver right now. Given it's there as a sort of 'preview' for interested parties, I don't think the world is ending because we jumped the gun by shipping this even though it's not upstream.
