Grab support is there for a reason, and shouldn't be removed, especially without a pretty detailed explanation as to why.

It's been a month now with no comments, so I assume nothing's going to happen with this bug. Given that it breaks every single evdev usecase I can think of (evdev + legacy drivers, evdev for a single device plus a catch-all, evdev for individual devices -- including with hotplug), I can no longer support input on Ubuntu at all, as upstream. Good luck.
