@ixo @EU_Commission You mean... exactly like the EU standardized Micro USB in 09/10 but left enough leeway for USB C to push through?

While there's of course idiotic stuff happening, the regulators are aware of the technology landscape changing.

Basically it's just the old EU law updated.

@fuzzysteve @ixo @EU_Commission It was a normative standard but no law, true. I think my main point is actually a different one: Yes, the regulators are very much aware of technology landscape changing and everyone asking "Didn't they think of X" is asking a really obvious question that's already covered by the law. They didn't "forget" to think about that scenario.

@ljrk @iXo @EU_Commission :) And right now, if someone were to release a phone which actually pushed the spec, we'd be looking funny at them.

@fuzzysteve @ixo @EU_Commission Every law is designed with specific loopholes though, as is this, for good reasons!
