I might be missing something, but to me that seems just life with a 
generic transport that doesn't have built-in identification of connected 
devices.  This applies to RS232 (your case), but also to the (classic) 
parallel port and even to Ethernet.  In such cases, plug-and-play won't 
work, but that doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
