Latest nvidia drivers?

Since Ubuntu's announcement that the LTS and standard releases will get more up-to-date nvidia drivers does that mean we can update our Zorin system with the new up-to-date drivers in the future? I've just updated mine to v430 but what's the policy on this now will the repositories now get updated as soon as nvidia releases a newer Linux driver every time? What would the waiting time be for the repository to be updated? I for one am glad that we are now getting the updated drivers since it'll mean that I can use the latest graphics card if I wanted to.

Once you have installed nvidia graphics drivers at your own risk (Nouveau GNU/Linux drivers are more secure) then if you have installed the nvidia drivers they will update in accordance with:

1. The prevailing kernel that supporst such drivers.

2. The model of nvidia card present in the machine.

Us nvidia at your own risk. You have been kindly forewarned. ;) :D
