Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Just don't call the commands which list these. If you stick with listdev
 and listusb that's all the info we need in a system analysis tool.

 syslogs are sometimes useful in a bugtracker when trying to pinpoint the
 exact cause of a problem and fixing it. But that usually takes several
 runs of adding extra tracing to the driver, asking the bug reporter to try
 again and get more info, until the problem can be identified and solved.

 In the case of a hardware database, all we need is the list of hardware,
 and the user should report if it works or not, because you can't know this
 from the syslog in most cases.
