We can't support them in the new driver - nvidia has decided to drop them,
and only nvidia has the sources to the driver to change what it supports.

We continue to discuss options for better providing both current and legacy
driver versions in either the IPS repo or even installed on the system, and
hope to offer something better in the future than the current workaround.
