Errr I thought that we were moving towards a zeroconf /bluetooth model where
hardware is discovered and exposed on the ui automatically. I find the
Installed/available split artifitial and far for being JustWorks(tm)
compilant.

Are you taking into account this hardware behaviour somehow?

BTW, even if I think that the proposals needs work, I think that the
progress you've been doing is remarkable,  keep up the good work.
