I noticed this:

"sys-fs/udev-089 and later takes over the responsibility of
coldplugging. Therefore sys-apps/coldplug is no longer needed."

here:

Is udev-089 a replacement for coldplug in all cases?

Yes.

Well, that's the theory. In practice it's not always like that, so you 
get to report bugs :-). For the majority of users, udev is an adequate 
replacement for coldplug
