I have no problems with a transition for old USB to USB2 in HEAD.
The manner of execution of the transition leaves much to desire.
Don't the 20090215 and 20090216 entries in src/UPDATING send up 
a red flag that perhaps the people rushing USB2 into the tree
might want to ask portmngr to build the port collection on pointyhat
to gauge the damager?  When Mark Linimon, a member of portmngr, posts
on Feb 26th 

(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2009-February/053282.html

There appears to be a disconnect with USB2 development and the
rest of FreeBSD.

Don't the 20090223, 20090227, and 20090309 entries suggest to you
that USB2 is going to get very limited testing by the actual user
community?  Asking users to rebuild world/kernel 2 or 3 times in
a span of 20 days, and all the ports that use USB (with the hope
that the ports actuall build) seems destiny to limit testing.


After a complete build{world,kernel}/install{world,kernel} dance, including
a 'make delete-old-libs' and a reboot.

It seems that libusb20 lives.
