This is wrong. Why do you rely on such false information instead of just
taking a look?:
$ ls -1 /etc/hotplug | grep agent
dasd.agent
firmware.agent
ieee1394.agent
input.agent
net.agent
pci.agent
scsi.agent
tape.agent
usb.agent
Looks a lot more than usb to me and in fact, it DOES more.

But it only cares for modules, not for actions that might be assigned to them,
like not just loading the ethernet card module but also bringing the device
up. On every mashine that I freed from discover insanity, I had a few
problems less.

One looks actively (discover), the other is told by the kernel (hotplug).
