Sorry to come out of left field like this, but would the system profile
info we collect on install be useful in determining the weight of the
need for some of these drivers?  For example, if there is still a bunch
of SIS video adapters out there, we might prioritize support for that
driver, but then not for others that don't show-up in our hardware surveys.

Perhaps this step has already been taken.
