Thinking about this further, USB hubs are the real issue.  In theory,
a hub could have the same issue of being detected initially as USB2
and then later as USB3.  In this situation, delaying does fix the
issue, but it adds more wall time as then one can't query the devices
downstream of the hub until after the delay.  Unregistration doesn't
work well with hubs, because it's complicated to determine
connectivity for devices downstream of a hub that's been removed, and
because it would require different code for unregistration of mice and
keyboards.
