I have recently upgraded to X.Org X Server version 1.8.1 using Arch Linux and
it no longer requires HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). Instead, it now uses
UDEV (Userspace Dev Tools) and works very well. Since KDE is still dependent on
HAL, this prevents me from completely removing HAL from my system.

When will HAL no longer be a required dependency for KDE? Are there future
plans for this? Thanks.

Reproducible: Didn't try
