I don't have the bandwidth to actually review the code changes. However,
I agree in principle with them all, except patch 9.

I have a feeling the biggest issue will be edge support. Before we had
clickpad support, people relied on it to be able to click and drag
beyond the edge of the touchpad. There may be people who are now used to
using it. Obviously we have a better way of doing things now, though.
