With mouse support, we have a layer of indirection with moused that combines input from various mouse devices into a single event stream via /dev/sysmouse. While I don't think we want a keyboard daemon at this point, we might well need to add a similar abstraction in the kernel so that different keyboard sources can be combined. Just "plugging in" a USB mouse and having it "just work" is extremely beneficial, and I agree we need to be able to support the same with keyboards.
