 I did, but they present three problems:

 First, it's an extra daemon/configuration burden

 Second, the userspace function only works for processes you own. I wanted to kill irattach when I removed a USB dongle, hal/dbus would have needed additional configuration.

 This just seems like a sensible, K.I.S.S. approach to the problem within the hotplug framework with no need for additional configuration. I'm thinking of patching my usb.agent to do the same for inserts. I have to say I even dislike the existing system of /etc/hotplug/usb scripts as it relies on a properly condigured usb map file which seems superfluous to most peoples needs (i.e Plug in a device, write a script with a unique name, put it in the right place, so again, no need to write/edit an additional file.)
