Evdev interface has been available for many years and by now everyone is switched to using it, so let's stop offering /dev/input/mouseN and /dev/psaux by default.

Hi! There is one exception: gpm. Without /dev/input/mice it did not work correctly and IIRC gpm daemon is only one present in linux distributions for mouse support in linux console mode (ctrl+alt+f1). Disabling /dev/input/mice by default will lead to broken or non-working gpm.
