- Anything "mozilla eclass based" from rindex list is now bug 350521.
- gnomeradio is hardware oriented but it's accessing v4l1 and v4l2 on it's own, doesn't need HAL from gnome-vfs to do that (or even use it)
- gnomevfs-mount is now p.masked

Looks like "--disable-hal" is already being used in debian, maybe we could to the same in the near future :-|

Why not now? 
Nothing from the rindex list appear to need it, or do you have information saying otherwise?

Because I don't have time for doing it right now ;-)

0:53 <@pacho2> ssuominen: about bug 350516 -> since it would be a new revbump and looks like nothing in the tree needs gnome-vfs[hal], I see no problem on committing it ^^
