No problem with this
As many people correctly pointed out earlier there is virtually no problem for nVidia owners.
Now let's look at this at my personal angle.
I have 2 old GPUs: radeon x1250 and geforce 8600m gs (both mobile).
radeon x1250 was released in 2007. The latest propriatary legacy driver was released for it in Febrary 2010.
geforce 8600m gs was released also in 2007. The latest proprietary driver for it is still the mainline driver.
It's obvious how each driver supports the latest Linux dictros.
And I don't care much about open source drivers (because their performance is bad). I pay money for the GPU to it's vendors and I expect them to provide me with drivers for their hardware.

- Those are GPUs which have ~8 years. Probably there are no many of them still working around there.
- Kerner and x.org compartibility will be still provided.
