I see no problem in maintaining ConsoleKit in [community] as long as
it doesn't cause any problems. The main reason why I'd like to keep
ConsoleKit in community is because the kdebase-workspace, which
requires ConsoleKit on systems using initscripts, takes relatively
long time to compile. If some serious issue arise I won't object to
moving it to AUR.

But if you are against ConsoleKit in [community], I can keep the
consolekit-related stuff in AUR, while maintaining initscripts in
[community] (although in fact initscripts without consolekit are
nearly worthless for me – I depend on KDE's NetworkManager applet).

Thanks for clarification.
