Meh, not a big fan - we could rather serialize it to "unknown" and not
bump the schema at all, that would IMO be much more pragmatic for us
and admins relying on this already.

Internally it could still be an option, that would make use sites of
that information aware about that it might not be usable.

OTOH, pondering also applying the "just skip" patch for now, while that
might be slightly worse UX, it's a rather unlikely edge case anyway,
especially for servers, where even if such interfaces exists, they are
probably not very likely to be usable after rebooting into the
installed system anyway..
