Summary
Hal is in the process of being deprecated, since it has become a large monolithic unmaintainable mess, and also duplicates a lot of functionality which are nowadays provided by udev and the kernel itself. Please see David Zeuthen's and Kay Siever's summaries of plans.

GNOME power management |
g-p-m uses DeviceKit-power now |
DONE |
Richard Hughes |
DONE |
libgphoto2 camera handling |
needs tagging as libgphoto device (patch sent and committed); (discussion); udev-extras auto-acl management fixed as well; libgphoto2_port/disk/disk.c falls back to /etc/mtab reading without hal, which is functionally equivalent |

NM device detection |
NM uses gudev now; needs upstream release/packaging |
DONE |
Dan Williams |
needs packaging |
Pulseaudio |
migrated to libudev in 0.9.16test1 |
DONE |
Lennart Poettering |
in PPA |
GNOME storage handling |
gvfs uses DeviceKit-disks now, but still builds hal volume monitor; some gvfs backends need porting to libudev (cdda (patch written), gphoto, obexftp) |
