This is not about ipv6 or hal or dbus in particular. My approach is

additional bloat and complexity, and a chance of breakage. If Dale had
had "-*", a *NEW OPTIONAL* use flag (e.g. hal) would not have been
implemented for X.
Except that Dale almost certainly would have had hal in USE because KDE
needed it, so he would still have been bitten when HAL support was added
to XOrg.
Yep, I added it globally, like was recommended anyway, and it worked for
everything except xorg. After getting to a console so I could emerge
something, I disabled it for xorg but left it enabled for everything
else, including KDE.
Actually, hal works OK for everything else. Sometimes k3b will have a
hick up or puke out a error about it but usually a recompile of k3b
fixes that. Well, I had to reemerge cdrtools once but anyway. Those
things happen. ;-)
