Thanks Nicolas - the feedback is always very much appreciated :)

I've successfully tested on 2 x86_64 systems, and Akemi and Dag have 
also both reported success.

Given this is the first full release (non-beta) from nvidia for the 
195.xx series (although they did make a number of beta pre-releases), 
I'm wondering if we should promote it to elrepo or leave it in testing - 
my thinking being that one might consider this release as a "point zero" 
release for the 195 series. Then when the next release to the 195 series 
driver is made, we promote that to the main repo.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into it and the latest release should be 
stable enough for general consumption in EL.

Either way, I'd be glad to hear opinions from users of the package, and 
others.
