Being the primary author of hotplug-ng, any opinion as to an "evaluation" of this project might be considered suspect :)

That being said, here's your answers:

> How mature hotplug-ng is
Not at all, it was only 1 week old at the time of writing this article.

> which major distros use it
None. Not even any minor ones that I know of. It's still under heavy development.

> Is it accepted by the hotplug developer community.
Not fully yet. There is a push by others to have udev do the work of hotplug-ng instead. See the linux-usb-devel mailing list for more details of this discussion if you are interested.
