Well, maybe not many users were actually exploiting the new libusb code,
thus were able to produce feedback.
Only very recent distros fulfill the need of >= 1.0.13, so you naturally
fall back to this code. I just realized that even the factory build of
OpenSUSE is still on libusb-1.0.9. Current Ubuntu versions are on 1.0.12
at best. Didn't check others so far.
So isn't this step a bit too early?
