IDK...haven't even looked at KDE4, but I had thought that it's fast moving target (along with cmake (help)) was why it hadn't been introduced to the book yet. If those packages are still hanging around in 4.5, then I must be wrong. As of this new Gnome release, I don't believe anything in the Gnome stack uses any of the three proposed for removal (HAL, PolicyKit, DeviceKit) but uses the replacements polkit and u*.
