Questions not answered in the bug report: 1) What is an actual issue solved by libusbx that is present in libusb? (by Allan) 2) Is it a drop-in replacement that is API-compatible or (better) ABI-compatible. ad 1) I guess there are such issues, otherwise the libusbx people wouldn't have been angry enough to make a fork. This point requires research. ad 2) If it is ABI-compatible, there is no harm in switching right now, as libusbx = libusb-1 + active development + more bugfixes. If it is only API-compatible or partially incompatible, we would need a strong reason to actually switch.
