Gosh, yet another reason to kill kudzu/firstboot on sight. Let's not annoy users with this ok ?
Enough people will submit this info willingly if the tool is well made you don't need to force-feed it to users. Last I've seen the pci db maintains itself well enough without any of this crap.
Put big notices on bugzilla startup pages, default index.html, etc if you want but do not resort to any M$-like "were do we want you to go today" automated junkware.
I'm not sure I understand how this is junkware... I mean that if I install a new piece of hardware I've just bought and get an error message stating that this hardware isn't supported/doesn't work with my Linux distribution, I would be glad to know that I can easily report this to my distribution vendor so that I can soon enjoy my new hardware (and I really mean it :)). But maybe I'm the only one in this case ?
