...as taken from my arch linux feature request
(https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30731):

i think it would be a good idea to have a separate group for usb devices which
do not fall into camera/scanner/storage/... category. in my case i'm talking
about a usbtiny mcu programmer and usb-connected oscilloscope but i'm sure
there are gazillions of other devices.

sure i can add myself to "root" group and gain access to ALL devices but i
think "usb" group would be a cleaner solution. as a side note, gentoo has it
and it works pretty well... ;-)

thanks for considering it!
