This was my idea, so only one set has to be maintained.

Well, the compatible list right now doesn't reflect the hardware features/
compatibility correctly, so IMHO it should be fixed.
But apparently Krzysztof is okay having the special property only applicable 
for a specific set of devices. But in this case you will have to maintain two 
sets of device models (bindings + driver) to which WDW applies/does not apply 
to.
