I don't know if I have already stated this, but here goes.

The halfbrite mode in the rev6 and on denise chips is completely
supported by the software, just like HAM mode is. You have to
ask for it to get it. As long as you set that bit when you need
it and the hardware can do it, the software should be able to
make it available. No matter what new chips may have in store
for us. It is just to easy of a hack to increase the number of
colors on the amiga without going overboard with the size
of the color palette.
