What do we want to do about -304? It's not on the list above because it's a "legacy driver", not a "short lived" branch[1].

If we had one of those, then we could write a package.mask entry for both xorg-server and nvidia-drivers with a reference to the security issue, or add the branches that are now masked for removal. That way people can plan their hardware's obsolescence properly or shift to a different driver. Kind regards, jer [1] https://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html
