That's a valid concern. While the list of packages requiring consolekit
are quite small ( ie, 3 packages, 1 being a shell script with support to
disable ck ), we cannot really check those using the dbus interface in a
exhaustive way.

However, I have already removed consolekit on my F18 without any notable
issue, so I do not think any breakage would be blocking. We have the
whole F19 cycle to find and detect the few packages needing fix.
