Nothing to do with the kernel but, one should then argue that the
current stuff in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is broken for hotplug as
placing a new network adapter into your bus will renumber your interfaces
causing them to be ifconfig'd wrongly. You'd want to associate the IP
configuration stuff with the particular network interface, by MAC address.

As for the software-RAID getting messed up, isn't that what volume labels
are for?

What else in the current distro setups is going to need to change for
hotplug?
