Well, my take on this is since HAL is not needed by TDE any more in R14
(which by the way will have its first RC tagged in a matter of days),
trying to maintain HAL is a waste of developer effort.

That being said, I realise there are platforms that still depend on HAL
such as BSD.  I would be willing to put up a GIT repository for HAL if you
are willing to maintain it.
