kms is nice indeed, but I am pretty sure there are many other
advantages of nouveau over nv
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/
"2-D support is in fairly good shape with EXA acceleration, Xv and
Randr12 (dual-head, rotations, etc.). "

For instance nv does not have xv, which is a must have for video playback.
And I don't know if nv supports exa and randr12.

And nouveau kms also supports "suspend & resume".
