possibility of opening hardware stats ? Smolts

[shirish]

Hi all,
        Its been great to know that launchpad is on road to be open-sourced.

https://dev.launchpad.net/OpenSourcing

What would be cool though is to know what kind of hardware are people using
I know that currently we have a closed database which doesn't help anybody
as the info. is requested repeatedly whenever a new bug is being registered.

Other distributions have tried to open this up. For e.g. smolts

http://lwn.net/Articles/306322/

The internetnews story also claimed that Ubuntu was also considering it.

Can anybody tell me what the current status of the same is?

Is there a bug or something we can keep track of for the same?
