Wrong. Different subsystems -do- define their own events. However, different subsystems should use the same verbs for the same actions. We need consistency where possible.

Hotplug device insertion and network interface addition/removal are two fundamentally different things. Further, my code purposefully does not wrap CONFIG_HOTPLUG around the /sbin/network code, because /sbin/network has utility outside the domain of hotplug.
