Hotplug is a concept as much as it was the binary /sbin/hotplug. Udev
still handles the action of dynamically created devices. The only
times hotplug is mentioned on the LFS page are that the udev
bootscript replaces /sbin/hotplug as the uevent handler. I haven't
checked that this is still true, but Alexander just went over this
page again, so I imagine it is.
The CLFS page has a bit more mention of hotplug. I haven't looked at
the CLFS bootscripts, but I believe what's on the page now applies to
older udev (certainly udevstart isn't there anymore, and I doubt
udevsend is being used as the handler). Have a look at the LFS page.
As I said, Alexander just went over this.

Hmm, I thought I just looked at that and saw references to the Hotplug
package. Maybe I was just looking at the CLFS page but somehow thought
it was LFS as well. Sorry for the waste of time...now that I actually
read the page, it looks good, except for that last link in the "Useful
Reading" section.
