Others are not. I am pretty sure ConsoleKit is still needed by LXDM and
slim as they don't support systemd-logind and by pcmamfm and thunar for
handling permissions of removable devices.

I don't see why we need to obsolete it at this point. Sure, at some
point it needs to die, but your approach doesn't seem well thought
through.

Are you planning other desktops, too? And what about window-managers?
Hi Chris,
I took ownership of ConsoleKit because I saw what a disaster it would
be to retire/block it when Lennart wanted to. I didnt realize so many
other things required. By all means add yourself as co maintainer and
lets work together to get this resolved.
For all I care the package can live until Fedora 30.
