I think dropping users to console is unacceptable if ubuntu/opensuse/manjaro and others want to be a desktop user os.

That said, it's been quite a few years since I've had that happen without it being my own fault, on both AMD (open source drivers) and Nvidia (blob).

Awesome release as always, hope to get the updated mesa 17 in fedora 25 at some point.

The thing I'm happy about is how it can be installed alongside nvidia blob with libglvnd

As a Ubuntu user years ago, I was frequently annoyed at how often my system would bork and drop me to TT1 only to try to figure out what to do in elinks or w3m to get nvidia working again.
A less skilled & more noob me just fixed the problem by reinstalling ubuntu 3-8 times.
