You must mean consolekit not policykit.
You're underestimating Ubuntu users. For example, NetworkManager's
startup has been migrated to upstart so
[initctl] restart network-manager
and
service network-manager restart
work and
invoke-rc.d network-manager restart
and
/etc/init.d/network-manager
don't work.
So, at the very least, anyone using Ubuntu who's had to restart a
service that's been migrated to upstart knows that something's
changed.
