Actually, it would probably avoid a lot of unhappy users, and I am a strong
advocate of total removal of the code, config option, everything. The only
downside is slightly larger code size for hid.o vs usbkbd.o.
Unfortunately, removal has been vetoed by the USB Maintainer based on the code
size issue.
Hmm, maybe we can add a particularly inefficient ErrorRollover handling case
to usbkbd :-)
