True. In fact, it's been this way for some time with the HE (high efficiency) front loaders. If you dig into the details, "hot" is relatively cool.
I have used liquid detergent and the energy saving cycle in our front loader for at least 10 years. It does a fine job for the most part. If I've got something that's particularly dirty, it might go in the shorter cycle at a higher temperature. I suspect it's more a matter of time and agitation.
