I'm afraid I don't get the exact difference :P, but what about honoring
both yes|no and list of services.
Anyway, what we really need is ability to turn off that coldplug thing
*completely* on *udev* level and restore some sanity. I really don't
need to have my TV card coldplugged at the point when /dev is being
populated by devices (e.g., Bug 130766 or Bug 128962).
Also I'd like to note that coldplugging network devices in such way may
be a security risk as well, as firewall gets started much later than net
gets started. There's Bug 119613 about this. There was also Bug 78495
about this, got solved on hotplug level, but the latest udev versions
moved the problem to coldplug level instead (even worse IMHO).
Last point - there's also that hotplug_$iface="no" thing in
/etc/conf.d/net - wouldn't it be better to all keep network-related
settings in one place? I.e., adding coldplug_$iface="yes|no" there
instead, and use RC_{HOTPLUG,COLDPLUG} in /etc/conf.d/rc for other
services only?
