Yes, the person posting the "rumor" also mentioned that he didn't
understand why nvidia still says on their web page that they plan to
use DRI ... who knows ... I'd love to hear more out of nvidia about
their current plans, directions, and where they are at in the whole
scheme of things.  I'd really like to get back to having a working 3d
