Insanity in a standards body part #2487: USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 are being merged in to USB 3.2 wherby USB 3.0 was actually rebranded USB 3.1 Gen 1 now will be USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 will be 2x as fast but hey, there is also a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for quad speed. Obviously.

This isn't actually new; USB 2.0 never meant "high speed" either. You can have a USB 2.0 device that runs at Low or Full speed (the speeds from USB 1.1). Versions add features and speeds but do not *require* them, you can still use the older ones.
Now of course the whole way they name speeds is batshit insane (it goes Low Speed, Full Speed, High Speed, SuperSpeed, SuperSpeedPlus...).

There is still no “WarpSpeed USB”, I note.
