Well, the question is how generic the given platform-specific setup is. I guess we can keep the dmi thingy for a while, although we'll need more generic solution (or a pattern matching for a wider range of machines).
Mostly if people stuck to Intel ref designs, then it would same, which has been a problem on embedded side, but who knows.. :(
That's just not at all realistic - if the systems are only going to be supportable when people copy the reference designs verbatim then we're going to have serious problems, that's just not how things work in the real world (especially at the higher end of the market where there's a greater desire for differentiation).
