Your opinion on pushing this to [testing].
I can't care less about binary modules that keep causing problems. +1 for having 4.11 in [testing].

I disagree. We should not break [testing] on purpose. We actually want people to use [testing] to look for unknown bugs. If we want to drop support for the nvidia module that would be a different discussion.

There is a difference between intentional breakage caused by our laziness (we could fix the code, but we did not) and some proprietary blob that we don't control. The bug is the driver itself.
Bartłomiej
We should continue to make no difference between proprietary softwares and not in our packaging quality as long as they are in our official repositories. I didn't read a reason to rush on this before getting more feedback from upstreams. Not to mention that the fix may finally land into the kernel package, which is pretty open.
