Old description:

New description:

 Since #2128 is complete we get generic information on unknown systems.

 We should say "isc-sysinfo does not know how to report for system %s yet,
 please mail <bind10-dev at lists.isc.org> to get this system added".

 This is related to ticket #2085, although only loosely.

Comment:

 Okay, I think Jeremy's suggestion is a good one. I'm changing the ticket
 to be that issue, and removing it from the next-sprint-proposed since it
 really isn't that critical anymore.
