Should we add USB Type C as a connector?

Pros:

USB A and B is deprecated
USB-C is more durable

USB micro-B female to USB-C male adapters are easy to find. I recommend USB-C as more modern, durable, reversible, and also, allowing more current to the battery and/or PA.

Also, USB-C allows host mode more easily (for usb key, etc).

We can change it in the next revision, but I have no idea when that's going to happen :-)

As a note, for future me!

When using USB-C, don't forget the CC resistors! That burned me on a recent design.
