Upgrading to version 0.8.3 and using PolicyKit 0.9.2 from F10 made it work
on F8.

However, it will take a long time until all remote codes out there are
converted
to the standard lirc namespace, so the applications work out of the box.

Some keys do not even have a natural correspondence on my remote,
such as "snapshot", "scan", "loop", etc ... I would have to choose another
name for them
from the options in the namespace.

But the idea is interesting. I like standards.
