So, if I got it correctly, in the future the "Good Way Of Doing Things" is 
going to be:

* /sbin/hotplug is empty
* udevd listens to hotplug events via netlink
* when one event is catch, udevd does its work loading modules and managing 
device files
* udevd notifies other applications (HALd & Co.) that something happened to 
the device foo whose device file is "/dev/foobar"

Seems nice :)
