Due to the wikileaks dump of Vault7, we know there is a 0-day against HALd.=
=20
Since HALd is mostly unused on the linux side, its very unlikely that it wi=
ll
get patched since most distros are using systemd now.

gvfs can build without HAL support.  I ran gvfs-lite on linux for quite a w=
hile
back in the days that I was a linux distro dev.

Should we disable hal in gvfs for this reason?  I realize that some programs
that rely on gvfs with hal will loose some functionality, so it comes down =
to
the issue of what's more important.  Security or Features.=20=20

I personally side with security, but this isn't my port, so it's not my cho=
ice
to decide.
