In light of this, I would consider this patch a temporary workaround to a

Currently there are two mediamanager backends: the hal backend and the fstab/mtab
backend.
The patch only repairs and reenables the previously disabled parts of the fstab/mtab
backend?
and makes it compatible with modern environments.
A proper solution maybe would require writing a third backend for dealing with udisks.
I hope you'll share the third backend to mediamanager once you write it.
and would reject the patch for inclusion in the
upstream TDE sources.
In fact, as a matter of policy I am going to reject
all piecemeal HAL
workarounds unless they implement portions of the libraries (TUComputer,
TUPower) that I have mentioned earlier.
The patch only solves the problem of mediamanager's detection of new disk
devices. It does not deal with other hal functionality.
This decision is an effort to
keep Trinity maintainable and stable, and continue with the philosophy of
having dedicated system access libraries that then distribute information
and control of system functions to higher level TDE applications.
