Most of contents are deleted. I understand what you wrote and it seems reasonable, but I think it is limited. What about ieee1394? pcmcia? I don't know if serial or parallel ports are considered removable devices or not. There is also the floppy and/or cdrom on some laptops.
Unfortunately, I am not qualified to write about ieee1394 and pcmcia. As for floppy and CD-ROMs, LFS already sets the group of those devices to "floppy" and "cdrom". For floppies, it matches the device name. For CD-ROMs, the "id_cdrom" program is used.
Also, does udev address other events like closing a laptop lid? I'm not sure about this, but if udev doesn't address it, what does?
I have no laptop, but I _guess_ that's a task for acpid.
I think if we are going to address removable devices, we need to mention the entire spectrum at least at a high level.
Indeed.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="05d8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4002", GROUP:="scanner"Shouldn't this also have SYMLINK="scanner" or similar?
No, because nobody will open this symlink (IOW: there is no way to tell libsane to open /dev/scanner as a libusb device)
