Ya know, a reporting program along the lines of "popularity-contest"
might be pretty useful. Add a simple interface to allow users to assert
that some hardware does or doesn't work to some degree, to override
"autodetection".
An up-to-date compatibility list might be a snapshot of the past month's
reports. Perhaps searching for some hardware could suggest the best boot
image to use (matching reported kernel version to image version). It
might assist the d-installer folks in seeing the "best common practice"
of kernels and modules for some hardware.
Anyway, I'm just "thinking out loud", not volunteering to write it.
