@Yuan - Thank you.
For precedent in this issue can we look to the transition from tape to disk? Both are devices for persistent storage but each is in its own class. Now with NVM we have a third type of storage device so perhaps we should consider a new class.
lshw is a hardware listing. Classifying NVM as 'disk' is a metaphor. So the question is how far are we comfortable introducing or extending metaphor into a hardware listing? Can we live with that loss of precision?
