I might look old fashionned, but i really enjoy the good old UNIX way to treat theses kind of permissions.
New PolicyKit, DeviceKit, IdontKnownWhatKit, with their balkanized permission configuration file, have me wanted to bang my head on a rock.
I really miss my old /etc/group, /etc/sudoers and /etc/security/group.conf when presented with a dialog box telling me i have no right to do something (and absolutely no understanding what configuration file i should change).

sudo is still available -- the first step I did after installing a Fedora/Red Hat system is to add myself to wheel and edit sudoers. There are cases where using yum from the command line is much faster (and customizable) than using PackageKit (and relying on PolicyKit to manage permissions)
