+
+Oh yeah I meant to send a message to the list about this.
+
+Yeah because we're now on kernel 3.5 we can no longer do certain things
+relating to this mount point.
+
+IIRC some ldetect stuff used it and some of the 3G and/or
+printer/scanner stuff might also depend on it and need to be migrated
+too. I don't know that code very well, but I know some folks complained
+when we stopped mounting it by default, so I've no doubt that it's use
+is lurking somewhere!
+
+I would guess that in some cases /dev/bus/usb/ might be sufficient for
+what is needed.
