It was not my intention of even suggest that.
But, if you look at udev's openSUSE Factory at
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/udev-120-6.i586.rpm
you can see in the openSUSE's changelog, that after udev-120, hotplug is 
remove as stated as '- remove ancient Obsoletes: hotplug" on that 
specific changelog.
Just be ware that it seems that openSUSE 11.0 will provide no hotplug ( 
  from an rpm provides point of view ) on it's udev.

Yes. So why not replace the hotplug requirement udev? If it suits all, 
then it's a good thing, right ?
