Please explain how hotplug works in lay terms

Yep, Dave speaks truth here.

Yes, if there are 2 SCSI disks on the same SCSI bus, the first one found (typically ID 0) becomes sda, and the second one found (usually ID 1) becomes sdb.
This isn't always true. ISTR that you could do some magic with hotplug and-or udev such that a USB device would get buttigned a specific device file based on its vendor ID + product ID + interface subclbutt + some other junk (GUID?). That would mean that you could plug in a FooBar 9600 digital camera and have it always show up asdev-camera , f'rexample. Some people with multiple USB storage devices have expressed annoyance at finding their $FOO ondev-sda1 if only $FOO is plugged in, then finding $FOO ondev-sdb1 if $BAR is plugged in before $FOO.
Some people have said they really want this, and buttigning a specific USB device to a specific filename would probably provide a better end-user experience, so I'm sure the kernel guys and distro guys are working on it.
