I'm happy if these things move to other locations for 2.5(maybe even adding proper subarch(e.g. ip22), vendor(e.g. SGI), and model(Indigo2) fields to ease up parsing), but *please* not for 2.4. I've not looked at 2.4.16 myself yet but (re)moving this kind of information is not a good idea at this point IMHO. -- Guido
