(I'm only a user, not a developer, but…)

I agree with this. I don't use the various *kits. Don't have any use
for them. I just throw myself in plugdev and I'm happy with that
solution, and I'd appreciate being able to keep on doing that. Of
course if it becomes impossible to support then it's not reasonable for
distro maintainers to do that, but as long as it works I'd appreciate
having the choice.
