    Probably not since the EU has made USB-C mandatory. What can change is the protocol that runs over those wires. Like how Thunderbolt uses the USB-C connector but is not a USB protocol

      Mandatory for how long? Can’t be stuck with this shitty spec for years I hope?

        Mandatory until the European Commission updates the standard. The law mandating the use of USB-C explicitly has a procedure for how to propose a new standard to supersede the current one.

        Mandatory for the time being. They can change the directive if they deem it necessary in case of new tech.
