You would have much more credibility in this thread if you provided
solid technical reasons why HAL is bad rather than stomping your feet
while saying "I don't like it!" Please provide a technical reason why
HAL is unacceptable.
HAL causes enough technical problems and negative side-effects. Just
Google for that.
But don't shift the focus away to "Is there a technical problem?" while
the real problem is the /whole idea/ of HAL.
Long time Linux users require choice, transparency, and CONTROL.
HAL is the complete opposite and now it is needlessly enforced per
dependency in Debian.
One "Hardware Abstraction Layer" (the Linux Kernel) should be enough.
People who want more than one can install Ubuntu which is a good
distribution.
