Hi Sebastian, while it's true in general that a 'change' event should not be sent when a device is being removed or deleted, sending a 'remove' event from userspace is most definitely wrong, too. 'remove' events should be generated from the kernel whenever a device disappears from sysfs; it should never be generated from userspace (as the device will still be present in sysfs).
