This, sir, is false.  I believe what you mean to say here is "many 
distributions use nouveau as default, and therefore have to cope with 
nouveau's inability to use versioning".  I can assure you that this is 
not the same thing as "without any problems".

For example, commits like this:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=09b1062628f2cbddb3ebae20e7b3b8a0a93acebf

where the API to the userspace drivers changed, should have been 
accompanied by bumping it to libdrm_nouveau.so.2.
