This is still poor design. I never had this issue with the previous Micro-B ports, presumably because of the tiny hooks on one side. Does anyone know why those were ditched? If you want to keep it symmetrical you could put them on the inside of the port instead and just have tiny notches on both sides of the plug. Or better yet, design the plug so that the process of plugging/unplugging helps clear out the dust, instead of just compacting it in. Perhaps the plug could have holes in the base so that dust pushed down the centre has a way out.
