There will be no public CK database. However we will provide a tiny library
(drop-in or .so) which allows NM, PK and D-Bus query whether a PID or user
is currently on an active sesssion without involving D-Bus, as fast path for
auth checks
...

It would be nice if the ck-for-admins binaries still have an analog
(ck-list-sessions, etc.). 

...
udev-acl will move into this dbus service
...

I would hope that the interface for the udev rules themselves is not going
to change, merely the mechanism that's used to apply the ACLs?

...
CK's shutdown/reboot handling moves into a tiny bus service ...
...

Would the shutdown/reboot/halt binaries remain separate from this servce?
