And unfortunately if other applications (like GNOME) require it, then
you have to have it. HAL does not need to be everything + the kitchen sink.

What's duplicated? "$ mke2fs -j /dev/hda3"

If you're talking about UIs (which is what I was saying) then every
desktop will still need a UI to the HAL API rather then to standard
system() call-outs. So now it'll be more complicated by having to wrap a
HAL & D-Bus connection then just calling system() with the proper
parameters.
