Topicbox-Message-UUID: 041dbb6a-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Once thing we could do is try to merge usb stuff so that those are again compatible in the various 9 flavours out there. Perhaps the ones to ask about this are Geoff and Cinap (I'm willing to = help, but have not done much on this front since long ago now). Speaking just for myself, I think the global FS registry is a good thing = for usb. I'm not sure I'd do drivers embedded in usbd now. At the time, the idea was just to have a single binary (usbd) carrying = the usb stuff. Because using multiple ones implied that the kernel (usbd was at = /boot) had multiple copies of the same libraries for each different binary. So, = having a way to decide which ones to link into usbd and which ones not, seemed a = good way.
