This IMHO shouldn't matter. If users can configure their keymaps for e.g. games with a graphical utility (and they easily can), they can do the same with their remotes, at least with these using common sane protocols. The only thing needed is a good GUI utility. Ergo - it's not a kernel issue.
The "default bundled", or PnP, won't work well in comparison to a GUI utility, I wouldn't worry about it too much (though adding it to udev and co is trivial and we should do it - even if not PnP but asking first about the actual remote used). -- Krzysztof Halasa
