That said, if some UI decided to add a "Look for all modems" button,
then you'd still have problems if a non-modem was connected to one of
the greylisted serial adapters. It doesn't mean MM won't touch them, it
just means that MM won't touch them *by itself*. But if there's some UI
or some script that tells MM to do so, then MM will because it was told
to.
