Well, actually, if hal would have worked I wouldn't have cared if it

are in xml only became a problem after hal locked me out of my GUI and
required a hard shutdown.
hal is a classic "Second System Effect" case
But I thought we thrashed this to death a while ago and all agreed to never
speak of this abomination again, while we await the Third System Effect aka
DeviceKit?
Last I heard DeviceKit was "deprecated before it even happened" and
they're just going to move everything into udev.
