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.
