I'm 100% for it. But the fact is that lots of machines have been already shipped with this ID since long time ago, and 99.99% of them have been running on Windows. Hence I expect that the chance to get a corrected ID is very very low, and waiting for the support on Linux until the correction of ID actually happens makes little sense; that's my point. Takashi
