I think they would just point out that the solution we're working
towards is the wrong approach. That is, we're requiring the hardware
to be connected at boot for it to be used. If you connect it after
boot, nothing happens.

That may be what we had working before, but its not great. Everything
is moving to be hotpluggable.

And how can we make this hotpluggable? This is probably the right
question to ask upstream. I suspect the answer will involve the
multi-seat support which has improved enormously in recent months.
