The legislation gets amended. Simple.

Ideally, the legislation gets amended to that there can be a review process every X amount of years.

First there will be a committee to look into the change which will cost millions of tax-payer dollars and several years of meetings. And then nothing will come of it.

Wow, now we have to wait on legislators to set standards, in the hypothetical scenario, how long would it have taken them to move from Micro USB to USB C.

I am so surprised that people are okay with letting slow moving legislators set technological directions.

Always a worst case scenario with you people. If the legislation denoted a review board then it could be as fast moving as need be.

Why would we ever think that the government moves slower than tech companies and is down right ignorant when it comes to technology and the trade offs and unintended consequences when it comes to technology?
