Unh, other than swapping Mod1 and Mod4, they've usually been the most

there even really any agreement on what a laptop keyboard layout should
be?

They've just not been consistent in key switch quality.

Thunderbolt in practice: implemented in software rather than firmware,
no hotplug for a long time if at all ever. Which other consumers even
see it?
