Sure, would be a good idea if someone could do that.
How about the following draft?
Title: nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx removed from [extra]
The nvidia-173xx and nvidia-96xx driver packages have been removed from our repositories as they are incompatible with newer xorg servers. This can only be fixed by an upstream update, which has not happened yet.tha
For most video cards, the best alternative should be xf86-video-nouveau; xf86-video-nv and xf86-video-vesa are lower-grade alternatives. Simply install those packages and remove the old nvidia one(s); the xorg server will automatically pick the best one at startup.
nouveau is not picked automatically. maybe point them to the wiki -- Ionuț
