policy management question

Recent rawhide updates obsoleted PolicyKit and replaced it with
polkit packages.  This change killed 'polkit-action'.  One can
reply that it was replaced by 'pkaction' but not quite.
'polkit-action' has options like
--reset-defaults
--show-overrides
--set-defaults-any
--set-defaults-inactive
--set-defaults-active
which allowed at least some policies management and changes were
stored in /var/lib/PolicyKit-public/.  'pkaction' allows you only
list actions and nothing else seem to be doing any management tasks.
All .conf files carry a comment:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, it will be overwritten on update.
Is one supposed to figure out how to write overrides by hand?
