This would be a lot less of an issue if someone just wrote a logind

not possible, logind since systemd >= 205 requires systemd and won't
work on openrc, upstart, and such
as in, the idea of using logind outside of systemd is a dead end
so keeping ConsoleKit in portage for long as it works for long as we
need openrc for Linux based systems
and when it no longer works, the contingency plan is to ship vendor
based polkit files that possibly either restore 'plugdev' group or
provide similar groups to ArchLinux like 'network', 'storage', 'power'
to split up the old 'plugdev'
