The "waiting to catch up issue" is the reason I switched to the LTS
kernels. If the kernel got a minor bump the NVidia drivers still worked.
When a new LTS kernel came out NVidia would have a new driver
almost immediately and through the life of that LTS kernel I got
easy kernel updates and easy NVidia driver updates.
I don't personally remember NVidia ever dropping a card totally
but I did get confused for awhile when they started segmenting their
drivers by different families and it was up to me to figure out which
driver package handled my card.
