worldofpeace afe27e517b nixos/multitouch: remove
On numerous occasions I have seen users mistake this
module as libinput because it being called "multitouch"
and them being unaware that the actually module they want
is libinput. They then run into several decrepit bugs due
to the completely out-of-date nature of the underlying package.
The underlying package hasn't been changed to an up-to-date
fork in a period of 8 years. I don't consider this to be production quality.
However, I'm not opposed for the module being readded to NixOS
with new packaging, and a better name.
