Hello everyone,

tl;dr Please vote on removal of ConsoleKit from polkit:
https://github.com/polkit-org/polkit/discussions/556

After investigation of an issue concerning a bug in support for ConsoleKit
in polkit and a hard time creating an actual environment that uses it, it
was decided to create a poll to gather data from the users and distro
maintainers.

I ask all polkit maintainers from all distributions that this message
reaches, please vote. It is important for us to know whether this
long-unmaintained session tracker is still vital for your system. Also
please take it as a chance to stop and reconsider an alternative.
Thank you.

Best regards,
Jan Rybar
