Yah, when I find the time. ;-)
I started doing it (and wrote the previous snippet of code) around the
time of the "great daemonization" so I ended up holding off. I recall I
was also worried that, depending on when the permissions were parsed
once we moved to a daemon, they could be a race.

Pam's consolehelper stuff, which RH uses, can set the permissions on
login. That works for preexisting devices - using a $local type thing
will work for newly hotplugged devices.
And hotplugged devices are an important use case: my camera should only
be readable by me, for example.
