Of course, even though hotlinking is allowed
technically, you still
need to comply to the licensing terms for those media files, e.g. give
attribution to the author and put a link to the license text.
Not a real concern to me... as I don't have a website or blog, and I
don't use media files from commons outside of Wikipedia, and all of my
uploads (over 200 photos & videos) were released into the public
domain.
Since from a traffic point of view hotlinking is acceptable, may be we
should delete this section then:

We shouldn't encourage hotlinking.
Technically, it's not an issue but you shouldn't consider it a
"supported" usage either. Basically, you're on your own.
Don't matter, I'm an old wikipedian... deeply involved into the spirit of
the project. Nevertheless, I work too into other web projects, and when I
feel that an image deserves to be shared for its content and instructional
character, I upload it into Commons. I keep a backup of all my images
obviuosly. :-)
