Hi, While the idea is interesting and has merit, adding a libusb dependency into a network-oriented library seems counter productive and would likely complexify our build, test, distribution, and maintenance burden. This seems like an endeavor that'd be much more appropriate as a specific fork; call it grpc-usb if you want, and it'd ONLY have USB as a transport mechanism. We wouldn't mind hosting it in our grpc-ecosystem organization for instance.
