At some point, you end up wanting to upgrade the OS and the driver stops working right with the kernel (and even before that, gets more irritating to install). I've previously done this for awhile, but then when I went to the next Ubuntu LTS, it became more hassle than I wanted to deal with (which I suppose may be where NVIDIA is coming from not that I support nearly any of their decisions).
