Yes.

- We are generous enough to give them our code with smallest cost.

- Having #ifdefs will help to merge their changes to our code.
  For example, if AnotherBSD has a code sequence

	A
	B
	C

  and if we have

	A
	#ifdef __AnotherBSD__
	B
	#endif
	C

  we can easily recognize the B is not needed for us.
  However, if we had removed AnotherBSD code and had a code sequence

	A
	C

  we would wonder if B would be required every time.

- If we have the master copy of USB stack of all BSDs, that may be
  fairly attractive to developers and users.

- Removing #ifdefs is very easy, but reverting them is very difficult.

- I think the #ifdefs are interesting itself, showing brokenness^Wdifference
  of other BSDs.
