Start upon existence of multiple devices

[Scott James Remnant]

No, device-added is an event.

You misunderstand how and works; and means that a job will be started
after both events have curred, no matter which order they occur in.

You have the following states:

  stop/waiting, empty event operator tree
* device-added YY=yy
  stop/waiting, event operator tree holds device-added YY=yy
* device-added XX=xx
  start/starting, event operator tree holds device-added XX=xx *and*
device-added YY=yy

(and the mirror)
