Parent article: Ubuntu and Debian look forward
udev is not replacing hotplug. Take a look, you'll see that udev is launched by hotplug.
hotplug is a standardized kernel to userland interface (netlink is another).
udev is purely userspace.

Well, if you're talking about the kernel hotplug interface, of course it's pervasive across Linux distributions, because the Linux kernel is; and indeed udev won't work without it.
I thought you were referring to the hotplug scripts, which are moribund.

New versions of udev replaces hotplug. Ubuntu Breeze has a relatively oldversion. Check it out.
