dmbaturin changed Is it a breaking change? from Unspecified (possibly destroys the router) to Perfectly compatible.
dmbaturin added a project: VyOS 1.5 Circinus.
dmbaturin removed a subscriber: VyOS 1.2 Crux.

I think we should include lshw indeed — it offers JSON and XML outputs.

What about fwupd? I don't think that would be viable for ALL hardware in a system, but at least that pieces that make use of firmware (and can be updated). Not sure how relevant this is in this context, but I could imagine some higher end vendors of NICs supporting firmware distribution via fwupd.
