The new version has been stable for me. What I don't understand is why there can only be 1 version in the repositories. There are multiple kernels, 2 apache versions, 3 python versions, 2 tomcat versions, etc. Why can't there be several nvidia packages and have a virtual package that points to the latest, like the kernel? That was if there is a regression for some people they can forbid that version using apt.
