I would  cp GENERIC MYCOMPUTER and comment out the lines I didn't want
when bring the new box into service, and then

ident MYCOMPUTER GENERIC
cvs diff -ur.. -r.. GENERIC | tee /tmp/pat
vi /tmp/pat MYCOMPUTER

to keep it up to date.

Thing is now, for the equivalent, I'll have to
:r /sys/dev/usb/usbdevices.config
in MYCOMPUTER, and keep an eye out for changes in it...
