You are right.  Hyperref now includes support of ucs, so yes, ucshyper is not
needed any more.  I was not aware of this when writing the original bug
report.

Note that option hyperref of ucs.sty loads ucshyper.
So this option should be removed or modified if you remove ucshyper.sty.
In my opinion, it is better to load hyperref instead of this option anyway,
since then it is possible to pass options to hyperref and to ensure that
hyperref is loaded late enough.

Best wishes,
