So the remaining webapps that ship with the broken configuration that we 
are about to release into the hands our our enduser base and how they 
should be handled are not considered high-level technical decision?

What else is it?

The alternative is that fesco single out individual and forced him to 
fix brokenness in other components which ironically already had been broken?

Which one do you prefer?

David rewrote the part of polkit that makes the authorization decision 
which resulted in this [1].

He was not forced to go through all the components and rewrite all the 
polkit rules which still may be broken in some places so a simple 
question why Kay but not others if not to set a precedent?

What makes Kay so special he deserves the honor to be treated like this 
and given the blessing of fixing those things up?
