No, I wasn't arguing that it should be okay to unplug a usb drive while
the system is suspended, I was saying that it is better for the kernel
to assume you did not when it can't really tell, since you aren't
supposed to do that anyhow.
since there's no difference (as far as the kernel can see) between power
loss on the bus and an actual unplug, you can hardly say that one should
be allowed and the other not.
But there _IS_ a difference between power loss and actual unplug, so
I very well can say one is allowed and the other is not. The fact that
the kernel can not tell the difference is simply a limitation that must
be dealt with.
