Is HAL going away in F12? I read the Ubuntu is replacing HAL with ??? in their next version, so I was wondering about HAL in F12. Didn't see anything on the Wiki.
Thanks,
John

HAL was written and developed by David Zeuthen at Red Hat. Because he has written a more modular replacement for it called DeviceKit and Fedora has already started moving away from HAL a release before. HAL would still be in the release for backward compatibility with several other software within and outside the repository that hasn't moved to DeviceKit yet but major components in Fedora have already moved to DeviceKit a release before. Ubuntu is following on that lead and so would other distributions.
