Samuli,

I know you want to kill HAL with a vengeance. I don't disagree with the
ultimate goal but I think you've gone too far.

HAL and u{power,disks} are _perfectly_ parallel installable and there
are absolutely _no_ conflicts between the two.

Blockers should be used for _file_ conflicts, not for _feature_
conflicts, otherwise we'd have to mask and get rid of half (or even
more) of all the packages we provide in portage.

I urge to reconsider this blocker and mask.

Thanks
