My descision is that I'm going to stick with old-style hotplug until udev is a bit more mature. I have a hotplug agent that works, and I doubt distro makers will break it in the forseeable future, because tremendously popular USB cameras rely on the same mechanism. But I like the udev approach better, and when It grows the right kind of event filtering that I needn't worry about causing nasty amounts of boot lag, I'll move to it. I support the proposed HOTPLUG key and Kay's proposal for an additional rules file. But I'm not attached to either. Thanks for the help and explanations. -- Eric S.
