> I disagree. 12 V is not that much for an adult when you put it on your tongue, but with today's ubiquitous technology in everything, a toddler that puts everything in his mouth, will lead to a lot of distress and fears. I prefer the existing 5V.

But PD not only already has 20V (or 19?) which can do everything 12V can, but I hear there's a new standard for going above 100W, which, presumably, works at an even higher voltage. Not sure how removing 12V specifically helps with the situation you describe.

Yep, it's even mentioned in the article - it's maximum of 48V @ 5A for total of 240W.
