You're very wrong there. On Archie, I think it was version 0.4.3 or so, we chmod -x'ed hotplug, figuring we had hwd to to detection. It broke a *lot* of drivers. Any drivers that needed firmware to be loaded from userspace, eg many wireless drivers (prism, ipw2x00), as well as many that didnt, such as a whole host of sound cards (no idea why), didnt work. I hope these have been accounted for with hwdetect, cause if they aint, that's a huge broken change thats been implemented.
