The obvious one. It's a race for the same reason usbd was racy. The hotplug invocation is not serialised for starters. There are other problems as well. It's a very useful hack for a PC, but it's not a generic solution for a multiuser system. Besides, it's not new. The same was done with devfsd a long time ago, if that subsystem may be mentioned here.
