Please go ahead; thanks.
As with the other updates which will need to go through NEW, if this
one doesn't make it in time for 11.3, are there any other nvidia-*
updates that we'll need to hold as well?
Should this update wait for the nvidia-*-tesla-470 packages to be
available? I realise the drivers are only in Suggests, so I guess it
should be fine, but just wanted to confirm.
