From a user's perspective, I'd say the advantage of getting rid of stinky
hotplug is speed. On my desktop Debian Sarge box hotplug scripts grind
away incredibly long stretching boot time well into annoying lenght. OTOH,
in my Arch laptop the modules get loaded in a snap. Considering the
Arch machine is an old Thinkpad X20 with 600 MHz CPU, you can imagine
my pleasure when a recent Arch update did away with hotplug...
Now that we are on the subject, has anyone dumped hotplug on their Debian
Sarge machine? I think I have all the parts I need already, udev, kernel
2.6.15, but I'm not sure what changes I'd have to make to get rid of
hotplug and load drivers in the udev way.
