Nice. But well: It sound like yet-another-hardware-compatibility-list to
me. Thus I'm wondering: Don't we have enough of those already? You link
to several yourself on
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/LHCP/wiki/Links
So why yet another approach? Why not co-operate with one of those? Or
wait, let's do it even better: Try to work together with all of those
those and solve the problem once and for all *properly* and in a general
way? Read that as: cooperate with at least Novell/Opensuse, Debian and
Ubuntu and maybe get OSDL ^w TLF on board (from the start of).

Is that reason really good enough? And how do you make sure your
approach is not "limited in one aspect or another" in the end, too? If
so many other projects did it wrong I'd say this effort will either need
a lot of work and manpower or it will run into similar problems.

Why don't we get then on the board *from the start* of?
