 On my side, I do not have any specific complaint against hotplug.. it works
 just fine. Even concurrency could be easily done by having
 multiple coldsync instances listening on consecutive tts/usb/x pairs.


 Maybe an improvement would be to not claim the interface unless
 the specific tts has been opened, so libusb support would
 coexist nicely with hotplug. 

  But that's a matter of the usbserial driver and
 I don't really know if the effort required is worth the benefits...
