There are still examples that don't work even without hotplug (example 2
and example 3 after the reboot).  That hack limits the damage, but still
leaves a latent bug for reboot and doesn't address the non-hotplug
scenarios.  So, I don't think it's worthwhile to pursue, and we
shouldn't pretend we can use it to avoid bumping the version_id.
Thanks,
