I didn't tell quite all of it. Hal was not in my useflags (by my hand) until this last upgrade (two days ago). In the course of events I saw hal pop up in the output of emerge -vuDp world. I'd already noticed hal was not on my system for a while now... so quickly added `-hal' to /etc/make.conf. So from here on, its no mystery why I don't have hal. But before the last upgrade, I don't recall having done anything explicit about hal to remove it. And had gone through several upgrades without hal popping up.
