Thats one thing that causes the distro folk a lot of concern too - their
customers dont like change that breaks everything and ISV's really really
loathe change.

Devfs support is a good goal. But we need the usbdevfs case covered too. Thats
much easier to work with. That or we support the 'ioctl fix' device hack. That
would mean the user mode drivers would do
open via usbdevfs
failed ?
open /dev/usbraw
ioctl(pick the end point)
open /dev/usbraw
ioctl(pick the 2nd end point)
go..
That I think is quite acceptable where wholesale upheavel is not
