+
+The ConsoleKit project at freedesktop.org has been deprecated. Please
+read this email if your distribution/OS plans to continue to rely on
+ConsoleKit.
+
+ConsoleKit currently runs under:
+ - Solaris 11+
+ - FreeBSD
+ - Linux
+
+Similar functionality is provided by systemd; however this is only
+available on Linux. Furthermore, not all distributions are using it
+right now. The inevitable result of lack of maintainership of the
+freedesktop.org ConsoleKit will result in problems for your
+distribution/OS unless you get involved in ConsoleKit development
+(fork).
+
+Due to the ConsoleKit deprecation:
+ - Fedora will switch to relying fully on systemd:
+   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval
+ - Mageia and openSUSE will continue rely on the deprecated ConsoleKit; due
+   to current support of sysvinit fallback. From what we understood,
+   they likely will rely on systemd alone.
+ - A lot of GNOME developers will likely be using/testing using systemd
+   based systems.
+
+In case your distribution will not or cannot use systemd, the
+deprecation of ConsoleKit means GNOME will (eventually) provide less
+functionality. This means concrete action is needed if this
+functionality is wanted within your distribution or OS. To make things
+absolutely clear: ConsoleKit is a freedesktop.org project and the
+maintainers have deprecated it.
+
+Now, one distribution expressed interested in maintaining ConsoleKit,
+but under a different name. It will still use the same API (dbus name,
+etc). However, their interest is likely solely focussed around their
+distribution and not anything else.
+
+To repeat:
+In case you have a distribution which uses ConsoleKit, please either
+switch to systemd, or get involved with a fork of ConsoleKit!
+
+To make it 100% clear: GNOME does not and will not rely on systemd.
+However, we do rely on certain APIs. Those APIs can be implemented by
+other components. Another message will follow which expands on this.
