This might change sooner that later. I was talking to Matthew Garrett on IRC some days ago about him finishing the patch that makes hald run unprivileged but still exec helpers (addons, callouts, method invocations) from a helper process still running as root (using D-BUS in point to point mode between the two). The reason, IIRC, was the desire to use the power management methods that HAL now offers.
