You're missing my point. If I, as a end user, want to update the PCI
IDs file, I should be able to just put it into $HOME/.config/libosinfo/db/pci.ids
We shouldn't be changing /the way/ libosinfo loads files from the database
directories. We should only change /where/ the default data comes from.
This is nothing todo with systemd or any distro decision on whether to
use the built-in pci.ids, or a distro default version of the file.
