Which ones? Or other way around. Which we do not want to do and why?

I really do not like this if node is offline than only perform half of
the function. This will generate more mess in the future. Why don't you
simply. If we can split out this code into logical units then let's do
that but no, please do not make random ifs for hotplug code paths.
Sooner or later somebody will simply don't know what is needed and what
is not.
