I think it's more like small bugs in the kernel portion will be fixed faster. There are a lot of small patches needed to build the dkms module against the kernel as mainline and stable evolve - they're often carried in various distro packages until upstream (Nvidia) picks them up for a future release. The open driver should speed that cycle along.

😁 ok thanks. I get the speeding the cycle up bit! Makes sense that it'll be easier to fix bugs if the code is open.
