Apply Clover kext patch from here and the drivers don't need to be patched. Download the patcher from post #11 and you can install any driver from the Nvidia Drivers page.
Nice! I actually really like the idea of approaching this issue from Clover. However, the solution may not be for everyone as you have to know what you're doing with Clover. Well, and use clover (this driver issue affects real Macs too).
Problem with latest driver? Reinstall previous working one. No bogus claims or black list required.
Another issue with a pure Clover approach is that what you've suggested simply won't work. You still can't install old packages on your system unless you patch the installer manually, or install with nvidia-update or web-driver.sh.
No bogus claims or black list required.
Calling the black list bogus is a bit odd though. Why do you believe it to be bogus?
It's a usability thing, trying to make this as simple as possible for your average user. People need to get information about which drivers are going to work for their system from somewhere. Sure, they can read a bunch of threads, or it can be automated for them with minimal fuss.
