I know what you mean, but well -- ideally we want to converge on the
correct behavior.  Otherwise we'll just keep spinning and things stay
broken.

To my view, blacklisting a joystick which (wrongly) reports itself as a
digitizer tablet is an improvement over creating broken joystick devices
for anything that reports itself as a tablet.  From that position we can
fix the problem with the single device reporting the wrong device type
and then everyone can be happy.
