I also agree with this approach.
This way, there will be no need for configfs hacks, but just static
table for bundled remotes, and in fact this is very clean approach.
Also, since bundled remotes use standard protocols, there will be no
problem to add decoders for them.

For the rest, the remotes that were never meant to be used with the
computer, lircd will do just fine.

So, it a deal?
