Actually F8 would be enough. ConsoleKit was a service there and I
just disabled it without any ill effect.

In F10 that choice has been removed, and I predict that
whatever you wirte today, the same will happen with your
RealtimeKit.

Today you claim it's optional, 'if it's not for you then don't
use it', etc. etc.

Maybe it will be optional in F12. But based on previous 
experience I'm pretty sure things won't stay like that.

By the time we are at F13 or 14, if someone asks you how to
disable RealtimeKit, your answer will be similar to the one
you gave above: 'downgrade to F10 or use a distro that better
suits your needs, nobody is forcing you use Fedora, etc.'

Indeed, nobody is forcing me to use Fedora. But it is the
base of one of the best specialised audio distros, CCRMA.

Maybe you don't care about that, then just say so.
