Well, I hope that is usually expected, but it does otherwise sit
reasonably quietly:

The current output is:

I hope the '...' implies that it is waiting.

Would you still like to see the "Press Ctrl-C to interrupt" ?

I'm happy with that text if you think it helps, otherwise the loop does
indeed sit there idly (excepting actual hotplug notifications of course).
