It seems that the USB type was chosen to fit into a upower heuristic
that still exists (see [1], [2]). Looking at the upower code I suspect
that swapping to the Battery type will at least cause
"UP_DEVICE_KIND_TABLET" to no longer be used for our dongle-based
wireless devices (Bluetooth-based might still be fine though). We
haven't sold dongle-based devices in a while, but they're definitely
still out there. If the batteries in those devices are seen as system
batteries that could cause a problem -- e.g. triggering hibernation
when the tablet battery gets low.

I think it would be wise to test this first to see if there's any
obvious real-world fallout from the change...

Now instead of four in the eights place /
you=E2=80=99ve got three, =E2=80=98Cause you added one  /
(That is to say, eight) to the two,     /
But you can=E2=80=99t take seven from three,    /
So you look at the sixty-fours....
