It's a fact of life that "Positive list" won't be covering everything and
then when you see a very good deal on something you'd like to have, it's
good to know that it will not work, instead of buying it, testing it and
finding that yes, the reason why it wasn't on the positive list was
because it was broken, not because it was new (product/manufactorer/etc).
