Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Definitions#Definition_of_a_Feature
item #2, I think so.  It would also have ensured that the release note
won't be forgotten about.

(I can't really buy that
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval automatically
applies to F19 - and the feature page is rather unclear on whether
ConsoleKit was actually planned to be removed in F17.  It's really not
obvious from the feature page that it was "only" not installed by
default.)
