Oh, by the way, I thought PolicyKit has been around for longer than just since 2008. I remember a
presentation on PackageKit at LugRadio LIVE in 2006 where it was mentioned as the component that would allow users to gain the privileges to install packages.

The initial revision in the git repository is from March, 2006 (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/PolicyKit/log/?ofs=550); so even if that initial revision would count as prior art, it is not from before the patent application date.
