 * create TODO ;-)
 * created ;-)
-* what about scsi, scsi26? Some modules have different names in 2.6 kernel
-  series. Which one are we going to maintain?
+* if pci-database is meant to work with different Linux kernel versions, not
+  only the latest one, there should be a way to specify different modules
+  basing on running kernel version (not only 2.4.x/2.6.x, things change
+  between 2.6.x versions)
+* base vendor/device id test is sometimes too weak; e.g. few vendor-branded
+  SCSI controllers could have different chips, distinguished by subsystem
+  vendor/device id
+* some drivers are architecture-dependent (mainly binary ones) and cannot
+  be used everywhere; there should be a way to specify alternative driver
+  for other architectures
 * why use by default commercial drivers for nvidia/radeon? "World's tendention"
   is use free drivers when it's possible. It solves many problems with
   libraries etc - in default configuration. So i think, that "non free" drivers
