Re: [Nautilus-list] Bug #42825, IDE device names in hardware view...

[Josh Steiner <joschi eds org>]

I agree that this has the potential of becoming a nice view with some love
and care.  What is the harm to nautilus as a whole in keeping this as an
"easter egg" of sorts?  I suppose if it has been publizied as a past
feature and it is buggy then it reflects badly on nautilus as a whole, but
are there major open issues other than it being a little alien looking and
a not quite so useful?
