Yes we'll try to keep them around, with exceptions (i.e. instead of ck-history people should just use last/lastlog and similar commands, even they are slightly less powerful). > > ... > udev-acl will move into this dbus service > ... > > I would hope that the interface for the udev rules themselves is not going > to change, merely the mechanism that's used to apply the ACLs?

The tag will stay the same, just the code that interprets it will move. > ... > CK's shutdown/reboot handling moves into a tiny bus service ... > ... > > Would the shutdown/reboot/halt binaries remain separate from this servce?
