That’s good to know! Very soon this will become a huge issue for us. Out of 
necessity we're converting over our older 10.8 systems to newer Apple hardware 
that runs only 10.10+. There’s no way to “replug” a USB device within a sealed 
kiosk system, so we’ll be needing either an outright fix or a some kind of 
workaround that can be run after boot (such as a manual bus rescan).
