Agreed.

The logic behind making the new default is based on assumptions which
are surely wrong.

The logic behind making this default, whether it's terrible or sensible,
take place in the kernel instead of in X or the desktop environment is
inexplicable.

The logic behind requiring the user to manually edit a system startup
shell script, _correctly_, _to a moving target_ (name of hid module in
sysfs changes in different kernel versions) and all that that implies,
instead of in some gnome menu is also inexplicable.

I'm using an Apple keyboard on a generic pc running Ubuntu simply
because it's a great, and great looking keyboard. The fact that Apple
makes this keyboard in no way implies that I want my Linux system to
emulate OS/X.

Add another vote to the pile that says, regardless of hardware
combination (Apple keyboard on generic pc, Apple keyboard as part of
Apple laptop or pc) it is most reasonable to expect, and most reasonable
to supply, Linux behavior on Linux!
