that's considered by Christoph Bartelmus (grep for uinput):
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=AIxEFo19UOB%40bartelmus.de&forum_name=lirc-list

but I thought I heard there was a move of some input things into HAL
that would be used by X guys (don't recall if it was just for devices
detection, or also for event feeding...)?!

I've been away from the HAL list for long...
