When are we planning to remove HAL from the distribution? Apparently other distributions are already working on this for their next releases, and if we are planning the same, I'd like to know about it well in advance so the implications for applications using HAL are clear.
Are there any openSUSE specific packages that use hal? For example does YaST or our installation depend on hal?
