The problem is who to target. If you call Fedora a desktop distro,
then it makes perfect sense for local users to be able to shutdown the
computer, suspend, change the system clock and install clipart without
passwords, as long as it's done in a secure way.
I don't think all of that makes "perfect sense". There is a big
difference between turning the system on and off and actually changing
significant system settings like time and packages.
Again, you are also making the assumption that "desktop distro" ==
"single-user system", when the Fedora desktop work is going in the other
direction (making the desktop more multi-user friendly). Many home
systems are now multi-user, and not everybody should be installing
software.
