That was expected. They took the decision, finally!
Anyway, I never used it. On all machines I've ever tried it, I had problems with optical drives. Automounting never worked and used to lock the drives and then the entire machine so bad, I had to power it down completely to recover (i.e. no power cycling possible). Options that were transfered from xorg.conf to HAL never worked anymore. As for polling every freaking piece of H/W every 2 seconds, argh!
Native drivers are like a billion times better and use way less reserved memory and processing power.
Let's hope DeviceKit (or any other replacement) will be just a *little bit* better. I'm not expecting too much, though.
