Goodbye desktop users then.

We recently dropped HAL. Now all the magic that was done by HAL (and
required udev anyway) is done through udev directly. Dropping udev =3D
dropping it all. This means that no *kit would work anymore, xorg will
require explicit configuration, bluez may not work anymore as well.
