This was also discussed last month then in relation to this bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72067

If Glen is willing to maintain and extend the hardware view I think it
should be kept. It is actually quite nice if currently a little simple.
Longterm I would hope it could be extended to replace things like the
Red Hat hardware browser program.
