Vendor-specific configuration with redhat-config-xfree86

I'm sending this email to the list in order to get some feedback about a
project I'm working on here at Dell. I'm the lead Linux engineer for the
Precision Workstation line of systems, on which we have been supporting and
factory-installing Red Hat Linux for several years (RHEL 3 right now). Since
our workstation customers demand the best-possible graphics performance
available, we pre-install/distribute the vendor-provided closed-source
OpenGL drivers for our nVidia (nvidia module) and ATI (fglrx module) video
cards. One complaint we've had from customers is that there's no easy GUI to
configure XF86Config for features such as extended, cloned, and dual-session
X displays. nVidia just gives you a README that explains how to configure
your config file, and ATI gives you the "fglrxconfig" command-line utility
that completely rewrites your XF86Config file. 

I've been working on modifying redhat-config-xfree86 to be able write the
nvidia/fglrx-specific options to XF86Config; I have the nVidia options
working from the command-line, and hopefully soon from the GUI. My question
for the list is the following: are these vendor-specific features something
that could be accepted into the redhat-config-xfree86 project? I'm not sure
what the Fedora stance is on providing configuration for closed-source
drivers, so I'd like to get some feedback from the list...
