Untrue, otherwise it wouldn't find things like disks and input devices. Current behaviour (in LFS, at least) is that hotplug events are generated for anything detected when the kernel starts, and are then replayed through udev once init runs. You shouldn't need anything besides basic LFS to handle that kind of thing. Where did you hear otherwise? Not sure what 'coldplug' is, but a bit of googling suggests it was something that used to be used on Gentoo and SuSE... no other distros seem to mention it, and nothing I can find is newer than a year ago...
