It should be updated to explain /why/ the user would need this option. According to some mailing list posts, it seems this option is necessary to automatically detect USB keyboards. If that's the case, it would be very useful information. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
