I would suggest that there should be only one implementation of each of these
files within Fedora and hwdata package is currently the place for this
information. My current F7 hwdata is a release from 2007-04, though.

My suggestion would be to not include in the lshw package files already supplied
by hwdata. This means that when the source of those files is updated, and we
want lshw to be able to use them, we would request an update to the hwdata
package. lshw would Requires hwdata.

Lyonel: Is updated hwdata files a sole cause for a new lshw release ?
If you are preparing to release a fix/enhancement, do you always
retrieve/include updated hwdata files ?
