Some gamepads persist even after being physically disconnected.
Remove them when their timestamp becomes too old?

Raw gamepad.timestamp is not very reliable. Not sure how to implement this?

In theory I think it could be implemented comparing gamepad.timestamps among themselves.
In practice it is a mess, the advantages are not worth the added risks.
Won't fix.

timestamp is updated only if the user moves the gamepad; because of this it cannot be used to recognise whether the gamepad has gone zombie or the user just isn't using it.
