As per title, I've implemented Featured Content Handlers for the content types ubs_blog, ubs_blog_entry & ubs_series.
This means that process of featuring/unfeaturing UBS content is now 100% handled by the Core XF Featured Content Handler.
You can use the Core XF Featured Content Widget Definition to create featured content widgets for UBS content (or mixed content). Display is controlled by Core XF Featured Content Layout types (Standard, Simple, Carousel), not UBS Layout Types!
You can also continue to use the UBS Featured Blogs Widget Definition, UBS Featured Blog Entries Widget Definition & UBS Featured Series Widget Definition to create Featured Blogs widgets. Featured Blog Entries widgets & Featured Series widgets for UBS content and display that content in UBS layout types.
UBS Index: Featured Blog Entries are still being displayed the same (based on UBS options and UBS Layout Type Macros).
UBS Category pages. Featured Blog Entries are still being displayed the same (based on UBS options and UBS Layout Type Macros).
UBS Blog list: Featured Blogs are still being displayed the same (based on UBS options and Layout Type Macros).
UBS Series list: Featured Series are still being displayed the same (based on UBS options and Layout Type Macros).
Note: You can disable the UBS options and instead, create widget(s) from the Featured Content Widget Definition and display those on UBS Index/Category/Blog list/Series list pages (which is what XFRM does).
There is unfortunately some feature loss. The Auto Feature system has been sunsetted (at least for now). It is not compatible with the Core XF Featured Content Handler (and frankly, that kind of functionality needs to be part of the Core XF Abstract Featured Content Handler).
