Nothing has changed since.  The focus of work has been on other things.
I had a cunning plan to get some interruptive USB changes into the tree
before stable/15 though so we can move forward more easily later.
I hope it might still happen.

Also once that happend I can probably extract just the USB bits and put
them up in a branch somewhere for people to test and possibly fix the
remaining bits.

We'll see.
