Yes; USB input device support could follow fairly easily then. However, USB in
itself can do more than just input devices.
The timestamp - it is needed, so that an application knows in what order events
happened, and what time apart they are. Imagine detecting a double click with heavily
loaded, and swapping machine. It might be impossible without timestamps.
