Description Rahul Sundaram 2009-05-27 03:59:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

usermode/consolehelper is deprecated since Fedora has a better framework now
called PolicyKit. Please switch to using that instead

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PolicyKitOne
Comment 1 John Poelstra 2009-06-08 20:18:22 UTC 
Added 'FutureFeature' keyword to avoid rawhide base
Comment 2 Peter Lemenkov 2009-11-21 08:26:15 UTC 
> Fedora has a better framework now called PolicyKit.

LOL.

After the last PolicyKit events, I'm not sure, that users will trust the PolicyKit maintainer in security-related questions.

I, personally, don't see any benefits.
Comment 3 Rahul Sundaram 2009-11-23 20:35:40 UTC 
PolicyKit is a framework. PackageKit used that framework in a controversial manner. That doesn't take away the advantages of using PolicyKit including fine grained access control.  Move this RFE upstream if you don't want to invest time on this.
