That's not true at all (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/nvidia-glx ). 
That is the package for the Edgy release, which was released just over a week 
ago. It's in the "Restricted" repository, officially supported and released 
by Ubuntu. These packs have never been stopped; always been there.

In fact, their future intentionson getting these included by default are even 
stronger. See a spec for Feisty (the next version of Ubuntu) drafted by the 
Shuttleworth himself:
https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/accelerated-x

All to fit into the plan of getting Beryl installed by default on feisty.
