--- Comment #12 from Maciej Stanczew <maciej.stancze...@gmail.com> ---
My usecases for all of the filtered drivers:

coretemp: Similarly to what Artem mentioned, I'm interested in package
temperature, not per-core temperatures.

k10temp: Ryzen CPUs have a peculiar way of reporting Tctl (search "Ryzen
sawtooth"), and because of that I'd like to also monitor Tccd1 (which behaves
much more reasonably).
(Also, k10temp only provides package temperatures, so it's a bit unintuitive
when the CPU plugin splits it per-core, with all cores reporting the same
temperature.)

amdgpu: This I think is the most clear, we're missing edge/junction/memory
temperatures, fan speed, power, and voltage, and they are not available in any
other way.

Is there any harm in having those sensors duplicated? Personally I think that
CPU/GPU plugins could expose a vendor-neutral, standardized set of sensors,
while Hardware Sensors could still expose raw, driver-specific sensor data.
That way users could use sensors from CPU/GPU plugins for basic
temperature/frequency/usage monitoring, while more demanding users could get
all the data that the drivers provide.
