Well, you'd probably want to do "cross configurations" in many
situations, but yes, have the script fall back to just doing the local
thing.
That said, I really think that for hotpluggable things (ie usb, but
also obviously hotpluggable PCIe through
USB-C/TB3/whateveritscalledtoday), you should strive to not just look
at "right now" but also history. That's where a log of historical udev
events or whatever could be very useful.
