I'd like to discuss with someone the conditions on which this limit (and maybe others) could be removed.

The ConsoleKit site is http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit
with the mailing list at http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/ConsoleKit

I know there is some overlap with XDG, but that would give you best results for your inquiries.
