Yes, hal could become sticky.  This is one package that is making real
demands on the kernel and udev.  hal-0.5.4 doesn't indicate it needs
anything higher than 2.6.11, which is needed for hal-0.5.1.  Don't
know if those are new enough for gnome-2.14, not familiar with KDE.

If you do update hal, please note note the kernel dependencies for
0.5.5 and 0.5.7 (linux-2.6.15).  I think that it would be perfectly
acceptable to say that you need to upgrade the kernel to >=2.6.13. 
This would help educate newbies that believe they must stick to
2.6.12.5 since that's what linux-libc-headers is at.

I'd like to hear others' opinions.
