Examples are Ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy) and Fedora (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/HalRemoval). New version of Xorg server (1.7.99.901) has a working hotplugging with udev, many other applications are turning to udev or something like. I (and possibly others) would liked to see solid without HAL.

Volume control keys, for example, do not work. If the KDE devs need some help with this, I am ready to offer any help that is possible for me. I would love to see KDE keep up to date with the latest developments and not lag behind in any sense.

Yes as it seems that everybody have either already moved away from hal or are on their way. KDE seems to be the last piece still using hal.

Nobody said that: they simply said that the developers haven't chimed in on whether they consider this a bug or a feature. That's not to say they don't consider it a bug, just that they haven't said they do yet, so it's better not to mess with the bug report's status until they say "Yup, it's a bug and it's being worked on". By design, Solid should be able to allow this quite easily: develop new plugins for DeviceKit (uPower/uDisk) and make them default. Done. No?

We hope to accomplish it for KDE 4.6, but of course at the moment it is just that, a wish. Anyhow the complete remove is now a step closer, thanks to Dario Freddi and Lukas Tinkl I just committed the "PowerDevil 2 UPower" backend. Right now, it is build by default but is not used if the hal backend is compiled too, so in case you want to test it you have to edit powerdevilupowerbackend.desktop and set InitialPreference = 20 (lower than the hal one).

So it looks like there are some remains of HAL code in kdelibs.
