Exact, it is not about poluting, but about rationalizing. The fact is that
these are the two infos that are the most necessary to userland, then why
disseminate the info in thousand different places, instead of making it easily
available in a canonical place in a standard format for everyone ? 

cpuinfo is about the cpu, not the board layout nor the firmware
expectations.

What is the machine: field doing there then ? Would it make sense to provide a
machineinfo then ?
