No problem.  I personally would like to keep the hardware module in
tdecore (at least for now), as part of the original idea was to make
hardware functions extremely easy for TDE applications to access.  In my
experience, unless something is easy to access, very few people will use
it. :-)

Otherwise, I am fully in agreement with splitting up the monolithic
tdehardwaredevices.cpp file into a number of smaller files (this could be
theoretically be done for R14.0.0 as it is a cosmetic change), and also
adding pluggable module support (this will likely have to wait for R14.1.0
though).
