HAL uses UDIs for dbus object paths, so it doesn't violate the naming
scheme. Both HAL udi and NM device represent the exact same device, why
should their names be different? I would also remove all the properties
from NMDevice DBUS interface that already exist in HAL DBUS interface,
so NMDevices would be sort of inherited from HAL devices (or just
implement a different interface for the _same_ device). It would make NM
be part of a bigger picture rather than being a standalone app.
