They can still be overridden in exactly the same way - it's just a question of sending useful defaults on most machines. If a user finds that the defaults don't work they can still be remapped via hal, but the aim should be for that to be unnecessary where possible.
I guess it all depends on how well HAL updates will be integrated with distributions and whether users update kernels more often than the rest of the system. For example I am still using FC 3 (I was going to upgrade to 7 but I guess it won't happen until 8 is released ;) ) so for me kernel is better ;) I think we should continue adding keymaps to kernel until everyone is using HAL's facilities to load keymaps and then stop.
