Now I understand--you haven't been following this in detail, and there is
no reason why you should have. The history reflects the fact that the
original approach changed completely once Alan Stern let me know that we
really could tell when we have discovered all attached USB devices. It's
still trying to solve the same problem, however, so I kept the history
for continuity.
