Its not that they just enable it. Its that it has side effects. I enable it to support one device - it then 'devnaps' other devices that usbstorage supports _much_ better. Is there some way it could work in reverse. eg. let ub bind only if usbstorage does not, possibly making usbstorage a _little_ more conservative if ub is present?
