On my Intel 865 box, its pretty easy for me to lock the system up with 2 
different types of USB key drives (Lexar and SANDISK). The system also 
sporadically locks up at boot time, if I have a Keyspan USB-Serial device 
plugged in using EHCI.  For new users, I think its more important that the 
system works.  If one wants to experiment with USB2, its not that hard to 
compile a custom kernel.
