It looks to me Josh from usb-modeswitch has the technical capability of explaining why usb-modeswitch is the way forward, and has also implied that modem-modeswitch of udev has already been abandoned by the upstream. Unfortunately he has just started his vacation (see the usb-modeswitch forum), so there is not going to be immediate "backup" from him. If you think you can express his ideas and references [1] from his postings well enough, you can start the discussion on linux-hotplug. Just try to be as polite as possible, since I don't know what we are touching here :) But so far it seems that Red Hat's Dan William has abandoned modem-modeswitch, and if also Josh's argument about "it cannot be solved correctly in kernel space only" is accepted, then usb-modeswitch is the natural way to go forward - possibly by integrating it to udev.
