Sure, yes.

For the netdevs I wonder if we could anyway filter all non-usb based
ones. Maybe updating the candidates rules to flag by driver e.g. if
usbnet/sierra/qmi/... The list of usb drivers of possible network
devices that MM can handle is quite short. This would end up ignoring
completely e.g. non-usb eths and Wi-Fis.
