11.3 is about to be branched from Factory any time soon. As a matter of fact
both KDE4 and XFCE will still use hal for mounting disks in 11.3. So future
development that removes hal support comes too late for 11.3. Those desktop
environments rely on a fully functional hal there. Removing PolicyKit support
from hal hurts those desktops and sets them back by several years to the
obsolete at_console method again. Before PolicyKit can actually be dropped from
Factory the remaining four packages that use it need to be ported to polkit1
(backup-manager, mutter-moblin, ruby-polkit, yast2-dbus-server).
PolicyKit is abandoned upstream but not unmaintained as it got included in
enterprise distributions that outlive openSUSE 11.3 anyways.
Therefore disabling PolicyKit support in hal has no benefit at this time at
all.
