A generic problem I had with kudzu on RedHat systems is that its probing
of serial ports caused my braille display to hang completely. It needed
a hardware reset to be useable again afterwards. This phenomenon is known
for some different models.
I don't know if discover does serial probing, but this is just
an example why I (too) think that this is no good approach.
