You've said this a few times, and I just want to point out one reason
why we don't have it yet is that it's an intractable problem.  It
can't be done perfectly.  It can't even be feasibly done by a large,
dedicated organisation willing to pay lots of money to do this.
That's why large organisations solve this problem by limiting the
hardware they "support", and testing just on that (etc. etc. of course
we all know this).

Of course we can improve the situation by telling "upstream" what
hardware doesn't work. I think that's what we're trying to do here.
