Apparently there isn't much traction to this idea.
I read through the thread and I didn't get that idea at all.
In fact, the idea I got was more confusion than anything.
I.e., people are reading the problem in different ways.
At any rate, we need people to implement it.
1) You cross-reference the PCI/USB/etc... Vendor ID to a name, possibly
also spit out the product name. That informs the user.
2) If the Device ID is a known, binary-only issue that Fedora cannot
redistribute, inform the user that these drivers do not come with
Fedora, and a Bugzilla entry should _not_ be filed for support.
In fact, #2 would _also_ have the added bonus of addressing the endless
number of bug reports being filed -- something one person explicitly
complained about in that thread.
Then there are two other related projects which might interest you.
