Looks largely okay from a technical pov; one nit and one (repeated) remark
below.

Another blank line above this one perhaps?

The name of this option may need input from others; I'm not quite convinced
that this is a good name, as there's no true "hot-plugging" involved here.
IOW I fear the present name is misleading.
