Thanks for the information Guido, I wasn't aware of these changes (that's
the purpose of asking on the list!). I've reverted the removal of
ConsoleKit and we can revisit this proposal in 1.15 after seeing how these
projects go.

I hope ConsoleKit2 grows a logind interface so that we can just support one
interface in the future.
