Is that really true? It seems like there are certainly use cases where a 
compositor *would* use the Joystick or gamepad as a primary navigation 
device (think SteamOS or some IVI shell). Maybe it could be said that 
these are all going to be custom compositors at this point, but I 
wouldn't want discount that such behavior could be desired in the future.
