It's happening now, but the backends are still work in progress. Due to poor communications between u*/DeviceKit developers and the rest of the world and frequent API rewrites, the KDE hardware team decided to wait for those backends to stabilize until writing a Solid backend for them.

I think the switch away from HAL should happen as early as possible - HAL is no longer maintained, and although the current Solid backend for HAL is in a good shape, there are several things which don't work because it is not supported by HAL. Especially support for advanced disk configurations (e.g. LVM) is nonexistent, and the trash implementation relies on proper information from solid (i.e, currently HAL). Trashing files on separate data partitions becomes a nightmare, as the file will be _moved_ to the home partition ...
