I think it's all about kernel space.

Moving the default parsing to user space would add exactly _zero_ 
advantage, and would add totally unnecessary complexity (ie now we need to 
make sure that hotplug does it right - and the hotplug routines suddenly 
change between the boot phase and the actual install).
