How is it that "Ubuntu 9.10 replaced the old HAL with DeviceKit and functionality from udev.[4]" when hald-* processes are all over the place still? That is pretty talk and needs to be corrected. At best hal is deprecated and NOT replaced YET, in fact this is what the Karmic Koala feature page says:

" Karmic Alpha 4's underlying technology for power management, laptop Hotkeys, and handling storage devices and cameras maps was moved from "hal" (which is going to be deprecated soon) to "DeviceKit-power", "DeviceKit-disks" and "udev" "

Don't hurry with deletion

>> "non-notable; short-lived project which only received brief coverage"

not true , Devicekit is getting part of udev which *WILL* replace hal soon. So actually devicekit should redirect to an udev article and not the other way round, as it is. Udev is maybe the most important change in Linux distributions to come, as xorg already abandoned hal in favor for udev and more to come --78.124.76.237 (talk) 10:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
