Proprietary software enablement, not hardware

Yeah - that's kinda my point. When you strip this proposal down to the concrete actions that will be taken, it's just "we should enable people to use NVidia's proprietary userspace on Fedora", and nothing else - calling it "hardware enablement" isn't really accurate, either, because it's not just about enabling the use of NVidia hardware, but about enabling the use of NVidia's proprietary APIs, too.

I would feel very differently about it if it was (say) "we're going to make ZLUDA work on all the big Mesa Vulkan drivers so that you could use CUDA code on AMD, Intel or NVidia hardware", or even "we're going to support running ML models on NVidia proprietary Vulkan to the same extent they're supported on RADV and ANV". But instead, it's "well, NVidia's proprietary CUDA userspace is popular, so we should support that".
