>There is a set of conformance tests to verify API compatibility. Nouveau fails them. It's not just buggy, it is literally non-API-conformant. You can't keep pretending its API conformant when it fails the API conformance tests. When Nouveau is actually API compliant, perhaps it will get un-blocked.
It doesn't matter. Nouveau is a buggy implementation but an implementation nevertheless. No one is going to blame Chromium for their desktop freezing up. It's the user's decision to buy Nvidia and Ubuntu's decision to use a buggy driver. They've weighted the tradeoffs and come to a decision which is theirs to make. It's NOT Chromium's place to make that call.
These bugs are not causing daily issues to Chromium users, or even frequent issues, for nearly all users. The blacklisting does affect all users, daily.
It is not Chromium's place to decide which driver their users will use. It's not okay to write vendor specific code. It is not okay. You write code for the APIs and if the implementation of those APIs is buggy, it's their bug, not yours. Changing your code to fix someone else's bug is the objectively incorrect thing to do. Fucking over an important upstream Linux driver in favor of a proprietary driver from a bad actor is outright morally wrong.
