Thank you Luca - I did see that the -nvidia libs are being dropped on the -8 changelog but I had no idea what that actually meant until I read your explanation.
I was assuming these were modified library versions by Nvidia with enhancements to make the most out of the hardware but I guess their removal goes to show they're equivalent in any way. In that sense, my system should be fine right now, with maybe just a little headache to make sure all -nvidia packages are replaced properly in the next update. Thanks again for the extra information!
