Enhancing the hardware view would be fine. In fact, there's a pending 
patch that still hasn't been committed to add SCSI checks.

The only thing we want to do is be careful to ensure that enhancements are 
done in a way that will compile and run even on platforms that don't have 
things like "/proc/pci" and don't cause portability problems for Nautilus.

On the other hand, enhancements to hardware view are not a top priority 
for the main Nautilus contributors, so these need to come from other 
volunteers.
