No, I mean you'll get disparate events:

- hey, I added hda1!
  - Looks like it might be part of VG <foo>...
- hey, I added hdb1!
  - Looks like it might be part of VG <foo>...
<kernel takes a nap, five seconds later>
- hey, I added hdc1!
  - Looks like it might be part of VG <foo>...

When do you decide to assemble?
