+
+I think it's a good idea.
+Of course keeping hal itself for the interim, but removing hal 
+dependancies in other packages.
+
+Contributors like myself would appreciate knowing with what to replace 
+hal references with, by package.
+Or should we just follow the links above ?
+
+(For the moment I'm working on something else, but should be available 
+soon.)
