Indeed, they are some variations for the serial number (25 different 
possibilites), but other basic informations (cpu, memory, model, name, 
location, mac address, all if*) are mostly stable.

My point is not than we could avoid the need of a descriptive model for 
the final step (inventory), but that we could drastically improve the 
identification process, so as to reduce the number of 'unknown devices' 
at the end of the discovery step.
