Thanks for the heads up.

Are these cards already in mass circulation? Do they give us a significant number of crashes? If yes, this would need to block.

They are blocked because they didn't exist when the Intel compliance matrix was implemented.
I want to whitelist them as they are included in the GMA 500 family. I don't have any feedback of crashy GMA 500.

Note that this is a device blacklist, not a device whitelist. New unknown devices are allowed by default, not blocked by default.

Per comment 3, I renamed the summary.

Do you have any reason to believe the intel GMA 600 devices should be blocked?

The bug is for unblocking it in case it would have been blocked but it's not necessary based on comment 3.

My bad. It should be blocked for versions older than 5.0.0.2026 on Windows 7, older than  7.14.10.1006 on Vista and older than 6.14.11.1018 on XP like GMA 500 GPUs. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers#Intel_cards
