Actually, it would probably avoid a lot of unhappy users, and I am a strong 
advocate of total removal of the code, config option, everything. The only 
downside is slightly larger code size for hid.o vs usbkbd.o.

Unfortunately, removal has been vetoed by the USB Maintainer based on the code 
size issue.

Hmm, maybe we can add a particularly inefficient ErrorRollover handling case 
to usbkbd :-)
