Actually, that kind of thing makes a lot of sense to me and I think it's a good idea. I've read so many stories about hardware with bogus ACPI and EDID data causing problems with Linux support over the years. It seems to me that Linux tends to treat hardware information as always correct, whereas Windows is far less trusting and has information about device-specific bugs. The result is that while things tend to work out-of-the-box on Windows, they require far more tinkering on Linux.
