Very likely not all of them, but likely a nice subset of them. Depends 
on the use-case (esp. personal vs. shared) and on personal habits.

When regarding my setup: I have one of these USB multi-device 
printer/scanner/copierer gadgets physically attached to the same machine 
(my personal desktop) all the time, however, but it's not powered on all 
the time :)

Agreed, things are about to change, but this is an ongoing developing 
and is still far from having settled.

Anyway, how about those folks who are using Linux/Fedora as 
printer/scanner-servers (may-be even combined with FAX/FAX-servers)?

Yep, it's a matter of personal habits and of personal use-case.

That said, I think, this all needs to be handled dynamically. If this 
can't be achieved, it need to remain "user customizable".
