First you state that you didn't even look at the source, but still in the next sentence you make assumptions about how the software works/doesn't work. And last but not least you call the software buggy... What are you trying to achieve by such a mail?? As a matter of fact the daemon *does* have a main loop which uses select() and which *can* be interrupted after a few seconds to scan for new devices or the disconnection of existing devices. If setup correctly the daemon even only looks for new devices upon receiption of a signal (which can be generated by udev). So next time you are having issues with upstream you might want to consider just asking for an explanation first...
