Of course, I interest to wait this. If they have other weakless, tell me too. I also think the HID split plan is a great idea.

We can image, there are many devices use some HID base layer, however they even do not merge into mainstream kernel source tree for some reasons. and in fact, I do not like the mainstream kernel source tree include every drivers. For such devices out of core, we should have such feature that let developer write such driver quickly. I think it allows many monster-size driver modules is a better means than all-in-one.But we need resolve /dev/input/event? switching problem in principle first, else we still encounter same problem when new hidraw come.
