I think there is a bit of confusion as to _what_ the libwacom class actually
means: it provides a rough categorization of the tablet the user has.
Tablets inside a class have similar features, and possible examples for
future usage could include things like displaying a Intuos3-specific icon vs
an Intuos4-specific icon. Right now, GNOME differs between built-in, Cintiq
and other (which looks like an I3) for icon display.

So I think for non-wacom tablets there is room for a class per model-line to
allow for similar features. I don't really want a built-in Waltop mashed
into a generic class with a standalone USB Waltop model.

Cheer,
  Peter
