In an ideal world, it would be perfect.

However, all the USB hardware I've recently purchased actually does
work without a hitch on my FreeBSD system.  Older card readers are
more problematic.

Rather than complain about the system, how about merging RELENG_7's
usb stack to RELENG_6?  Or fixing a few bugs from the PRs that are
filed?  I did my time in a big push for 7.0, maybe some other people
can help out a little too?
