Currently install scripts only support one format, so there is not much point for downstream to add a driver in an unsupported format. I don't even know if you can append easily information to an existing OS (as opposed to overwriting an existing OS) to add a driver while keeping the existing instal script. Adding another driver format requires patching libosinfo (schema/parsing changes), so we'll know about it if that's needed, and then we can think talk again about this API in light of this new format. Or am I missing some use case here? Christophe
