And that's will totally kill multiseat configuration. I'm using multiseat 
since 6.9 release. That was the first release when evdev is appeared. 7.1 
release introduced claver evdev driver which could identify the physical 
device (keyboard and mice) whith options     Option "Name"     Option "Phys".
nowdays evdev become dump understanding only Option "Device" . That's OK for 
normal singleseat configuration, but if you want to have two separate working 
place with the single desktop you should disable autodetection by adding    
Option      "AutoAddDevices"    "false" - string into server layout section. 
Since No one knows how to separate keyboards through hal daemon rules.
If XkbRules will be away I think I will lost my multiseat and that's makes me 
unhappy :( ...
