It's a broad ranging discussion though, and one I think might be better suited to whatever comes after 2.1. When 2.0 came along we were still largely in the realms of mouse/keyboard. Now we're in the realms of input abstraction (in the form of Pointer Events for example), and myriad input devices - not all of which bear any relation to either mouse or keyboard.
