I do not support this bug.  The users with faulty hardware that is
affected by this bug, while significant, are not in the majority.  I
would be very frustrated if suddenly an Nvidia update caused Powermizer
to be disabled for me.  For most laptop users, this feature is crucial
to obtaining decent battery life from these power-hungry graphics
adapters.

The solution is obviously for Nvidia to fix its drivers.  I do think,
however, that when a user installs the Nvidia driver a HUGE warning
should pop up to advise users that they are installing a proprietary
driver, that the code has not  been validated by *anyone* and that it
could very easily destroy their computer, that if they experience
problems it is NOT Ubuntu's fault and to report all issues directly to
Nvidia.
