The way I've restored the default value of group "0" in polkit-0.104-r1 
is I've added 60-gentoo.conf to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d that 
will override the one with lower number, 50.

So that news item draft that suggested altering this file was stupid to 
begin with.

Sorry for confusion.
