Why have two ways to do the same thing? Hotplug deals with devices,
modutils deal with modules. Having two ways to do something means
twice the testing, and exponential growth in the number of failure
modes as you keep adding other ways...

As I said, the fact that it _hasn't_ been happening that way is just
a bug ... which should now be fixed.
