And this enormous security hole of a policy change was done with next
to
/zero/ communication, making it likely that many admins will not even know
they are vulnerable until their kids install a bunch of unwanted packages.
F11 had retained authorisations, which arguably were more of a
security weakness. If rawhide had been signed during the F12 cycle
everybody would have seen this change much earlier.
If you're deploying F12, then I really think you should know the
basics about PolicyKit.
