Hmm dynamic devices are kinda nice although basically useless in the modern era.
It certainly wasn't a "real" problem even in the olden days when we did have static devices and we actually plugged in old fashioned USB flash drives and stuff like that.

we certainly need something like D-Bus
Who's this "we"?
I checked
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DbusProjects/ [freedesktop.org]
and there's nothing on that list I want my DB servers or web servers running.
Also my desktops don't use any of that stuff.

What, not even udevd? Or the replacements like eudev, or uselessd, which AIUI also rely on a dbus implementation? You're creating static device nodes?
