Seems to work: but why am I not getting a root password prompt?

PackageKit allows you to install signed content from signed repositories
without a password by default. It only asks you to authenticate if anything is
unsigned or the signatures are wrong.

Richard Hughes,
It would be have useful if you had added a note to the release notes on this
along with the rationale. Can you provide the precise steps to revert this? I
think we will a release notes update covering the details. Thanks.

Please could this be reversed, the default being that the root user gets to
install software, and the users as well, if the root user wishes them to.
This is really a *major* change that is precise opposite of the way *NIX has
always worked.

Please set it back to the way it was in F-11.
This default is insecure and it is also hard to find out how to change it on a
default install.
This is not a good policy, doesn't help anyone and is a step in the wrong
direction.

Please revert this change.

It's not insecure. We've had the mechanism checked. The default policy may not
be to your taste, but this is the "desktop" spin, not the "server" spin.

You missed the "in my opinion" line in your reply.

I don't particularly care how UNIX has always worked. Looking at the use-cases
and the things people are trying to do this seemed the best default. Admins can
trivially change the default on machines if they wish.
