After some internal discussion, we have decided to disable
usb_cdcby default for now. It will still be available to be turned on in a custom build. Several users found it interfered with their existing workflow because there were now two devices to choose from for the REPL. Normally the devices are assigned REPL first, but on Windows, a lower-numbered COMnn device may be reused for the second CDC if it is free.CIRCUITPY_USB_CDC may be re-enabled in a custom build: https://learn.adafruit.com/building-circuitpython/customizing-usb-devices
In 7.x, we hope to be able to allow this feature to be turned on and off in
boot.py.Fixes #4364.
