That's one awful double standard. :\ |

dev-libs/libusb is the default implementation from libusb.org, yet |
| 8 |
you are astonishingly eager to *avoid* that it is the default in |
| 9 |
virtual/libusb-1, even if ~keywords make it apply "only" to ~ systems. |

In the case of libusb and libusbx, libusbx have consistently |
| 18 |
communicated that they are eager to *break* the API, and they have |
| 19 |
indeed made at least one release with an outright change of existing |
| 20 |
API, which broke things for library users. They released another |
| 21 |
version with that change reverted a day or so later, but still. |

I even asked you if you would consider swapping the default, but no. |

Funny that you should write that. I think it applies also when you |
| 29 |
prefer libusbx over the default implementation from libusb.org. |
