Right, it's going to be confusing to developers because they won't know
what to use. So please don't do this. Also note that Ubuntu is switching
away from gksudo to PolicyKit

That, we already have consolehelper which does this. And soon, as I
wrote about in the other mail, we'll have the PolicyKit-powered
consolehelper replacement that will make it very easy to manage
authorizations on a per-app basis.
