Already vanished from laptops, will probably disappear from commodity
desktop hardware in the next years as well. But I guess industrial
boards will stick to it a bit longer.

USB has reached up, at least for lab scenarios (and your CAN dongle it
surely intended for such a use case). RT and USB is still an engineering
task to be finished. First approaches are there for Xenomai, but they
need stabilisation and interface standardisation.
