For example in the current way the BSPs are published, this is shown on the YP website for crownbay 

Intel Atom Processor E660 with Intel Platform Controller Hub EG20T Development Kit
Version: 7.0 "Denzil"
Release date: 29 Jun 2012
Type: BSP
Download Links:
Crown Bay
Crown Bay no EMGD
Release Notes

So there is one BSP list item per h/w with multiple links to different BSP tarballs for the same hardware.
If we move the WebTitle in machine file, then we will have multiple items in the BSP list for the same hardware.
I am not sure which is better from the downloader's point of view. But this is worth considering for this change.

Will do.
