Ok, sorry, you are right at that point. And it actually was the reason to switch
it off because having it on regresses other things which need udev to work
properly which fails if usbfs is on.

I understand the problem. But it is a problem of application vendor being
unresponsive to changes until there is no other way. And you likely will see
other distribution changing the exactly same way when moving to newer releases.

Setting certain id's for devince nodes can be done with udev. And usbfs is
marked deprecated, that means it _will_ go away. So it would be time to tell the
software vendors.
