I don't think anyone should blacklist any nvidia cards - that happened to ATI cards just before the Hardy release and it was awful - compiz just stopped working without any explanation. And that was because in a small number of cases it froze the kernel. This bug is not like that one at all, it's just annoying and there are workarounds that several people have confirmed do work that can be done (like disabling compiz, installing the 173 driver, modifying the /usr/bin/compiz script).

Instead, if it can't be fixed before the final release, I think it would be much better if compiz warned there might be problems when you try to enable it for affected nvidia cards.
