Thanks Emilio,

I see there is a similar change started for the wacom driver, but not
completed yet.
What about making something similar for synaptics ?
i.e. make x-x-input-all recommends synaptics only instead of depending
on it and make DEs not able to configure libinput driver yet depend on
it.

ATM gnome (which is the default DE on most arch) experience is really
downgraded ...

Cheers,
Nicolas
