For all practical purposes, consider that the smartcard and USB stick
are no longer supported, except for niche applications (such as some
internal stuff at the Lux. government).
For webbanking and general simplification of life, yes. (not as if there
were any alternatives...)
But keep in mind that the tokens rely obviously on a weaker security
model (although you may not care) and are far less flexible. You can use
the stick / cards for your own x509 authentication, sign emails... while
the Token is only useful in situations a provider/LuxTrust agreed to. If
only there were a proper Linux support for the sticks...
So the token is much like an iPhone :)
