Well, I already gathered that you are the one who is in favor of a
completely automagical solution - however, I like control, as
fine-grained control as possible. So I have to spend a day on
setting up a new system - but afterwards I know exactly what it does
and why. No unpleasant surprises later on when hardware is
added/removed, or things switched from one USB port to another, etc,
etc, etc...

Not saying that autoconfiguration and plug&play are evil, they're
just not what I want in my Linux.
