I'm considering drop the network hotplug support from the

The supported solution would be to use NetworkManager for these usage
cases (or wicd, or netplugd, or conman...) Alternatively, just run
ifup yourself.
Currently, this would happen in the following cases:
1. USB and/or expresscard hotplugged ethernet/wireless
For #1, those systems are generally better served by NM.
still using this for ad-hoc WiFI networks very regularly. At some point
I would like to migrate to NM but rather often I hit bugs in NM that make
it necessary to fall back to the old solution.
