And you'd have to rewrite all the gadget drivers ("protocol")
to work with multiple upstream ports.
That gets messy with e.g. the Ethernet links ... each would
need to be configured with unique ethernet address pairs.
Likewise with serial numbers.
I've learned to just accept complaints in this area as sort
of a price for existing. It's all complaints, no patches.
So obviously the complaints don't have any requirements
backing them. ;)
