"plugdev" is an entirely misguided and fundamentally wrong concept, this
will not happen for systemd/udev. Device access groups are for system
services, _never_ for ordinary users. Systems who do that do it wrong at
many levels.

Ordinaru users get ACLs assigned, depending on the way the log into the
system, and the state of the session, and that is dynamic and adaptive,
unlike groups.

I have no problem with "usb" for raw usb device nodes, but "plugdev" as a
group name and especially as a "concept" should just die, it's totally broken.
