Except that the hardware that's attached to your system changes.  Maybe
you don't have bluetooth built-in on your machine, but you plug in a
bluetooth USB dongle at some point.

The real thing here is that more of the daemons which are currently
started via initscripts need to be started when the hardware is inserted
and stopped when removed.  Tracking bug at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222312.  Feel free
to add things to the tracker, or even better, help fix things and attach
patches.
