OTOH it's something where if I look at the physical system with the
hardware there's a clearly visible external connector that I can point
to - it just happens to not support hotplug.  It's not clear what other
system it would sit in, and it seems like an application that displays
external connections on a system in a UI would be able to do something
sensible with it.
