(a) GLAMOR accel would only work on G80+, nouveau supports Riva TNT2 and up.
(b) xf86-video-nouveau is well tested and simple, the GL driver is complex and
causes crashes for a lot of people
(c) Many people choose not to install nouveau's GL driver (for improved
stability), would now be stuck without acceleration
(d) GLAMOR happens to trigger some bugs in nouveau's GL impl that I've been
unable to track down
Look at all the trouble Maxwell has had as a result of not having a dedicated
EXA impl in xf86-video-nouveau and being stuck with modesetting/glamor.</pre>
