I originally changed that to simplify the structure of the hal-info files to make them translatable to *.mpi files automatically (which becomes an unnecessarily hard problem with the nesting reintroduced with that revert). Since hal will probably stay around for a while (Solaris, BSD), I think we should strive for keeping the music player data convertible automatically. Right now I already have to make the keyboard quirks changes twice (once in hal-info, once in udev). Danny, when would you be content with reintroducing the flat structure? When banshee is using *.mpi files as well? Rhythmbox already switched over to gudev in 0.12.4.
