Yes, and we know the patches work, and we know that Intel is better with them, but (as it turns out) Nvidia and other hardware might be worse off with them so as they stand they're not suitable for merging upstream.
If these patches are not suitable for merging upstream (and they're not) then what's the point in testing them further in these builds? The whole point of these builds is to test commits and patches that are likely to be merged in the future. Now that we know these patches - in their current form at least - will not be merged, they've been dropped.
