I'm definitly for this idea since I've laid down this in the
scripts/?/README-> TODO
And that would for sure solve most of our USB issues...

Just be careful with 1 thing: some system were in transition stage,
having udev available, but running some hotplug hook.
So there might be conflicts or at least a redundancy if both hotplug
and udev rules are installed...
