When is a fedora release likely to have the 4.6 kernel (I suspect fedora 25)?
I saw rumors the nvidia maxwell card firmware will finally be included in 4.6 and it might finally be possible to use nouveau with my graphics card, so I'm just wondering when I might be able to stop fooling with nvidia binary drivers.

Fedora 24 will have this eventually ... but given the merge window has only just closed give it a chance ;)
For now keep an eye on the NoDebug Rawhide kernel repo to grab updates as they appear ... bear in mind again the merge window only just closed so though 4.6.0-rc1 is there right now it's probably not in an entirely great state ...

Note that the kernel alone is not enough for it - you'll also need the newer unreleased yet mesa 11.2 and linux-firmware
