Damage to what? The "USB name?" I don't think it's going anywhere, even if we do have to wait until 2016 for a better design. Two years isn't long, considering we've been dealing with this since 1997 or so. Unless you mean physical damage to your USB ports...then, yeah.
Presumably, the damage to the possibility of any new standard taking hold, given how many USB2 devices are now out there in the world.
