Beyond the issue of what is and what is not the appropriate default

think there is an education gap here about how to competently admin
PolicyKit based activities which adds frustration.
Another big issue is that polkit-gnome-authorization and polkit-kde-
authorization were not ported to / rewritten for PolicyKit 1, I've been told
a polkit-gnome-authorization port/rewrite is not even planned anymore
(despite having originally been a requirement for PolicyKit 1 and despite
this being a major feature regression compared to 0.9), and the polkit-kde-
authorization port/rewrite is planned, but not even started (the people
working on it are still busy with making the rest of PolicyKit 1 KDE
integration happen).
The absence of a GUI policy editor combined with lack of documentation for
the config files makes bad defaults a big issue.
