Why is it not possible? The query API would return
REQ_STRICT/REQ_WARN/REQ_NONE as it currently does.
If you get REQ_STRICT/REQ_WARN, then the user can try to call
osinfo_install_script_disable_driver_signature_checks() (with a
better naming, this name is just for the purpose of this discussion) if
they wants to install drivers fully unattended. This setter can fail
in case libosinfo does not know how to do it.
