Firewire is by definiton a hotplug bus, and application dealing with raw firewire nodes, need to manage that anyway. It's very much like USB, we don't do anything like that for USB either, because we require the apps to cope with the nature of the bus, and don't want them to expect predictable device nodes for the raw access. There is no legacy to support for firewire, like we need to do for most other of the persistent stuff. So, what kind of problem would that solve, that isn't better solved at the application level?
