Re: <https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/consolekit2/#requiredby>

Should consolekit2 additionally become a requirement for x11/sddm?

    <https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/x11/sddm/Makefile>

Or, should we solely (without the requirement) document the benefits of
consolekit2 in contexts such as SDDM?

The FreeBSD Handbook does not yet mention consolekit2. 

<https://www.freshports.org/x11/sddm/#message> will benefit from a mention.

For what it's worth: I lean towards requirement, however I can not estimate
whether it would spark a chorus of disapproval.
