The point is: why can't we let this simply as it currently is? 

Let HAL provide the Shutdown()/Reboot() (which is IMO the same as 
Stop()/Restart()) methods, which then also can do all the 
ConsoleKit/PolicyKit checks. We don't need yet an other daemon for this. I 
see no advantage in moving these methods into ConsoleKit or an other daemon.
