They can still be overridden in exactly the same way - it's just a
question of sending useful defaults on most machines. If a user finds
that the defaults don't work they can still be remapped via hal, but the
aim should be for that to be unnecessary where possible.
I guess it all depends on how well HAL updates will be integrated with
distributions and whether users update kernels more often than the
rest of the system. For example I am still using FC 3 (I was going to
upgrade to 7 but I guess it won't happen until 8 is released ;) ) so
for me kernel is better ;)
I think we should continue adding keymaps to kernel until everyone is
using HAL's facilities to load keymaps and then stop. Does this make
sense?
