You can't tell you've not been warned : this is all beta work.

All the websites you give have a common part, so it's duplication of
work too between them. You can't blame Mandriva for attempting to have
it's own HCL with hardware certified stations.

I think the real added value would be to integrate Mandriva HCL with
hardware4linux : a distro-agnostic hardware database. It's in the
pipe, if I've understand correctly.

Have a glance at the wiki page : you'll see the roadmap.
