Do we still really need kudzu still now that linux has hotpluging support for usb, pci and firewire? Maybe for supporting old isa hw. Even though it's called hotplug, it should be able to also detect hardware on the initial boot as well, it does for usb by calling usb.rc, why can't there be a pci.rc that does the same thing and at least parially remove the need for kudzu and Xconfigurator.
