Perhaps, but in any case, it should be consistent across external
devices that trigger new/different blocks.

Exactly my thoughts.

What happens when I open a file with NXT/Arduino/other blocks? I've
never connected to the device on my XO.

Some elements we cannot put in the bundle -- for example, see my
suggestion to Emiliano to depend on the nxt_python rpm, because it
installs a /etc/udev/rules.d/ file that is needed to get to the device
node.

One way or another, you do require that the underlying distro has bits of infra.
