Sure, I understand that those other means would still work as before and 
only any additional luxury needed will be deducted.  It is just less obvious 
where exactly the luxury all went and when you really need entertainers or 
martial law.
As I understand it, luxury will be dealt out just enough to keep the peace, 
so there will be no more civil disorder.  While that may be a welcome 
change, there would be no more WLTKD celebration either.  This will be a 
major departure from the current game and would affect a few other things 
such as rapture growth.  Have you thought about that?

I don't see how they are related to each other.  But of course, getting rid 
of civil disorder would greatly reduce micromanagement.
