Not the design center for the original "exec /sbin/hotplug" style event delivery, no way!
A near-term option would be just to have some kind of throttle on how many hotplug invocations are going on concurrently -- avoiding process creation storms. That should easily take Linux all the way into the 2.7 series, for those who want to tread carefully in terms of changing sysadmin technologies.
