Just throwing this out there as a suggestion, as it obviously allows (non-code-impacting) updates to the supported list (new / updates), but also keeps things simple from a user's perspective (no going to add-ons), while still allowing more advanced users to over-ride.
Not quite sure how this aligns with the 'don't call home' concept, but an argument can be made that this isn't really calling home, but rather pulling without anything being pushed...
If made an addon which is installed by default (and just provides an xml really) you would get this behaviour for free. If a new device is found and added, the addon is updated and all users get an update.
