The important question is will people using magicdev currently need to
carry on using it, or does HAL on 2.4[1] resort to polling to get CD
drive notifications at least?
I'm sure someone using 2.4 would understand that they didn't get gPhoto
started when they plugged a camera in, or USB memory sticks mounted, but
CD drive notification not working looks rather lame (despite the real
technical issues).

[1] Sad to say, but some people have to. 2.6 still refuses to
suspend/resume on my Thinkpad. Speaking of which, I wonder if HAL will
detect me inserting CF cards into my built-in CardBus reader...
