To Be Written

Recently, I had cause to spin up a rather old VM. The circumstances
are not interesting, but as I scrolled through screenfulls of
‘console-kit-daemon’ in htop, I wondered what had become of consolekit.

Back in 2011 or so, I switched to Gentoo because it was the
best-supported distro I knew of which allowed disabling consolekit.
These days, I believe consolekit has been mostly replaced by some
other piece of software I probably would dislike as much. Still, I
decided to see if the particular bug which had driven me away was
ever fixed. And, a few seconds later...[0][1][2]

    About
    
      ConsoleKit is a framework for keeping track of the various
      users, sessions, and seats present on a system. It provides
      a mechanism for software to react to changes of any of these
      items or of any of the metadata associated with them.
    
    Defining the Problem

No, it most certainly has not.
