Why should every distribution decide on some policy? The default way
should work sanely and the way that a user would experience it makes
sense. I help out with Mageia (+GNOME), I'm 98% sure Mageia has 0
interest in creating/developing such a policy.

e.g. Linus complaining about (IIRC) needing to provide a root password
after plugging in a printer. If we create such a situation again I might
even understand why he's rants :-P
