I agree with the concerns of some of those above. If the hardware
database is no longer maintained, closing the bug as a wishlist is less
than ideal because it doesn't actually address the OP's original
concern.

It would be better if there was a hardware database Canonical
maintained. This can't be rocket science to build:

* Ubiquity installer makes some queries to the system with the user's 
permission.
* Installer makes some JSON POST requests to remote server.
* Remote server stores anonymous hardware description in a MySQL or PostgreSQL 
database.
* Database has a web based front end that shows some pies, tables, a field for 
queries, etc.

This can probably be put together in a few days.
