I was making a summary from an irc discussion.

Basically, legacy was seen as useful for non-hal systems (some Linux
users which may not want to use hal, and *BSD, Solaris maybe, I don't
know). 

For hal_based vs. xfpm, Brian already said he didn't want a power
manager, and thus he was perfectly fine with just a battery plugin.

Imho an xfpm plugin with xfpm configured to not do anything wouldn't be
that heavy, but I don't know.
