Migrate from ConsoleKit to logind

Registered by James Hunt

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Migrate from ConsoleKit to logind" for updated plans.

Ubuntu currently uses ConsoleKit to manage logged-in users. However, ConsoleKit is now unmaintained software.

Since logind is now packaged in the archive and usable stand-alone, we should consider planning a migration path from ConsoleKit to logind.
