Yes, I can do that. Then every other hotplug user who manages to track down
reboot problems can do the same thing after a discussion with you (and most
users probably won't be able to diagnose reboot time Oops situations etc so
probably you won't get a lot of mail about it).
But wouldn't it be easier to just stop the shutdown-time unload for everyone
if it provides no benefit and causes problems for some people?
