I don't see that FreeBSD upstream has a replacement yet so are still
using HAL in their latest releases and development head.
There was no mention of Hurd here; how would it be affected by this? I
guess it is a long way from having something to replace the
functionality of HAL?
I'm aware it's not a release arch but to me it would tip in favour of
keeping hal around for a little longer, only for non-linux arches (and
potentially other ports).
