I agree, I think the main reason it hasn't been done yet is that
nobody has thought in detail about whether or how to keep
the last remaining piece of information (the machine name as
printed in /proc/cpuinfo) when removing the machine descriptors.
If we want to keep that around, we could probably have a global
lookup table of root node compatible strings, or we decide to
use the contents of the "model" property instead. This has been
discussed several times in the pasts, without any real consensus.
