I would prefer not to remove the volume.policy.* and storage.policy.* 
properties for 0.5.6 (do you mean only remove from the fdi-files?) or at 
least not to depend on install/build fstab-sync but to add a configure switch 
for this fdi-file/properties. 

IMO we should remove them first with a new major release (e.g. hal-0.6) but 
please not with _this_ minor release. 

At least we (SUSE) need this properties in 0.5.6, because remove them would be 
a too big change in the current release state.

Cheers,
