it's been said that HAL is retired (
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-November/msg00560.html,
http://www.scribd.com/doc/63425975/Introduction-to-Udisks ) from 6.X , but
my default installation has HAL processes running and an attempt to remove
them leads to half of Xorg been removed ( not good i would guess).

Can you please point me into the right direction of the current/future
state/roadmap ofr HAL/udev?

Thank you
