In theory, I agree. In practice, the debian-installer has used allow-hotplug for all devices since a few release cycles. So I assume the vast majority of users has allow-hotplug in their /e/n/i, even for "internal" devices (onboard, PCI, etc). -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
