Antony,

I'm a bit behind with reading emails. Please forgive me if this has
already been answered.

Don't expect the new USB stack for 7.1-R. It's too short and the new USB
stack will introduce an ABI breakage. For that, all drivers written for
the old USB stack need to be rewritten and I guess, we need to take care
about 3rd party developers and inform them in advance about that massive
change. I would not wonder if this will never get MFC'd but I don't know
actually.
