This category serves as a container for dedicated subcategories for the individual products sold by the Arduino company. The forum contains several other categories used for discussion of subjects related to hardware not specific to an official product. The previous ambiguous "Hardware" category name did not clearly communicate the scope of this category and this ambiguity might have made it difficult for users to determine where to create or search for topics related to other hardware. The new name clearly communicates the scope of the category.

Impact on Links
The name change will not break any links.
Links to Category Page
Although the forum software adds a cosmetic text "slug" to the category page URL, the only technically significant part of the URL is the ID (e.g.,
12). Even though the "slug" text will be changed as part of the renaming, the previous links will still lead to the category page as always.Links to Topics and Posts
Topic and post URLs are not category dependent so there is no impact on links to any topics or posts under the renamed category.
Discussion
In addition to formal reviews here, a forum topic is available for general discussion on the proposal:
