sounds like a good idea ..
did you send in your list of hardware that works on debian to the
folks that have "hardware compatibility lists" ??
- remember, no one entity will ever have all the googlezillion
permutations of hardware to test
- mb, sound cards, pcmcia cards, nic cards,
cdrw drives, ...

hardware doesn't age like wine does ... it should still be
compatible in the future, except that manufacturers change
the chipset on newer versions of the same make/model of their
products which might render it useless under same linux distro
or newer versions with the "previously/working supported hardware"
