Of course. Just look at all the new code I have added to Trinity over the

for Trinity it gets released. :-)
In light of this, I would consider this patch a temporary workaround to
a
far more serious problem,
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.
