I don't use the term "blame" since I don't feel there is blame, only reality. I suspect nVidia will support the latest version of Xorg-server when it is no longer a "beta" in at least their most recent drivers. Yes, nVidia is pretty good at supporting Linux, but it isn't their core business so there will be a lag. They may choose to even support it in their older drivers. AFAIK nVidia doesn't publish a roadmap which would indicate when they would support the next version of Xorg.
