Yes, but it's a pain. Additionally, as those interfaces change we would have to maintain the TDE connections to them, which would sap time and energy away from other tasks.
I have not yet decided on a course of action, but probably nothing will be done as far as replacing HAL until either someone sponsors the work or does it themselves.

Well, it seems lately that every developer in linux community is trying to make something new that actually is crap compared to what were used previously and everyone starts using it because it's "new". Just look at gnome3, hal and thing like that. It seems to me that with every upgrade and new feture every OS sucks more and more -_-
