Isnt that just a consequence of the current implementation rather than
a SCSI limitation?

A different way to do hoplug could be to flag all devices as removable
in the standard inq page then
leave the LUN there persistently and what you remove/add is not the
LUN device itself but just the media in the device.

Instead of hot-plug remove the LUN,  hot-plug becomes "media eject" or
"media insert".
The device remains present all time, you never remove it, but instead
hot-plug controls if the media is present or not.


This would require implementing at least START_STOP_UNIT and
PREVENT_ALLOW_MEDIUM_REMOVAL opcode emulation from SBC.
