I second that.

What's wrong with just calling it USB 3? Surely people are smart enough to work out that 3 is faster than 2... and eventually everything will be USB 3 instead of 2, just like 2 has replaced 1.
Because USB 1 had two speeds, low (1.5mbit) and full speed (12mbit) so it needs a name to differ from the other speeds
Thats one hell of an assumption!
USB1.1 had this problem when USB2 was released. People didn't want USB1.1 devices, even though making them USB2 wouldn't have had any benefit at all (mice and keyboards for example). So they officially renamed everything USB2 and then gave them names like FullSpeed and HighSpeed. this is supposed to tell you that there isn't any functional difference (which there isn't between 1.1 and 2) just a speed increase.
USB3 is slightly different as different cables are required (although backwards compatability remains), there is a new connector and there are also new features over and above the speed bump, like the power requirements.
But if they don't call it something like that, people will stop buying those old undesirable USB2 mice and webcams
Err, you mean like USB 1.0 and USB 1.1 respectively?
Just keep the minor version even when minor is zero.
It's just like software.
Why would they?.. Other than the fact that people are morons.Thats one hell of an assumption!

If ever you have to market a product, go for a walk, just watch people. Remember the vast majority are morons, and lowest common denominator rule works quite well if u want to make money.

Thank you for reaffirming my lack of faith in humanity.
