Missing functionality in DeviceKit

This list should give an overview of what's missing in DeviceKit(udisks/upower/...) in terms what Solid (the KDE HW abstraction layer) needs.

Solid is implemented using various backends, on Linux through HAL. Dropping HAL would, at the moment, result in severe loss of features throughout the whole KDE desktop. Developing a new backend, based on udisks/upower/... is definitely possible, as shown in this concept backend [1] but in the current state, DeviceKit family is missing substantial portions of HAL functionality:

  1. no smart polling, resulting in eg. no detection of the Eject button [2]
