I just read on the RAH newsgroup last night that Eclipse is introducing 
a new system.  From what I could tell, it is a can of powder that reacts 
with the atmosphere, eating up all the oxygen, when opened.  The article 
said that it would last for 10yrs without maintenance, is not harmful to 
the ozone layer,  and that it would only weigh a few ounzes (vs several 
pounds for a Halon system).
