Actually, we were told multiple times that .pkla is no longer
supported and
no longer works and that we all have to use JavaScript .rules in
F18+.
Yes, this was a misunderstanding. What is still supported is the .policy files containing
the default policy. And that is very good, since such policy files are installed by pretty
much every package that uses polkit, while .pkla files were only used by very few
packages.
