Tolerance by who? As far as I can tell tolerance for binary blobs by the typical Linux desktop user is higher than ever. They consider it a bug if their distro does not automagically install the nvidia/ATI drivers, and immediately write you off as a GPL zealot if you even mention that a tainted kernel cannot be debugged.
