Well, we have this wonderful OS detection on our UI now - which
institutions may want to make use of.

Your approach with UserAPI calls per-device is absolutely the better
approach, but then you either present users a list of devices with no
auto-detection, or have to implement OS detection yourself.

In your specific case, the latter is not a big deal because you wrote
the CAT code for OS detection anyway ;-) but for an average admin, the
lazy/tempting/"better" approach is to just point users in the CAT's
general direction and let the CAT do the legwork.

I take Alan's point though that I should ask the same questions on other
channels to catch at least a significant subset of those who are not on
cat-users.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
