I have just tested... Hybernation and suspension both to disk and to RAM works well without hal (both from the KDE menu). Auto-mounting also works well (if you implement it with udev rules you do not need any additional services running).
Sorry, but no it does not. The original KDE media service provides popup menus that allow you to decide if you want to mount the media, decrypt the media, etc., which also allow the user NOT to mount something that is plugged into the system.
This popup menu works well without hal.
K3B works well and auto-detects the media. Ejecting CD-ROM works well.
What else should hal do?
kpowersave is completely broken without it. This is a major sticking point.
