It was done to minimize the number of options in hwtable.c
Also the output of the multipathd configuration is clearer, and it makes
easier to find misconfigured devices and attributes with weird values.

I don't think that anyone can expect that a minimal config could work
automagically for the first time, with something like this:
devices {
device {
vendor = "AUTOMATIC"
product = "FORTHEPEOPLE"
}
}
I do prefer a minimal set of options than a false automagical config.
