Additionally when it comes to doing work we have no way of distinguishing what hardware was used to perform that work. In other words someone could build a new ASIC to mine the new "slow CPU mining option" and we would be right back where we started.

Despite this not being foolproof, it would be interesting to submit a BIP for adding metadata such as the device used within the GetBlockTemplate, obviously with small size limits.
