Today I'd say that 99% of all machines that need suspend quirks use HAL
anyway... just based on what software people use.. (embedded stuff is
more one-off and one can customize this as one pleases.. and usually
embedded don't require quirks since it's usually not PC style
hardware).
Anyway, I know it's fine and all to not require HAL.. I mean, some
people do go out of their way to avoid having glib or Qt installed and
they're happy with twm instead of KDE/NOME/XFCE and so on... but in this
case it's just damn impractical since it means a ton of duplication
currently is going on... but as the maintainer of HAL I'm obviously
rather biased, hehe :-). I guess I'm just frustrated about the whole
thing. Anyway, sorry for ranting.
