If that is the Fedora expectation, then I expect a number of network
admins will be choosing something other than Fedora.
If you're not shipping custom PolicyKit rules then at the moment
normal users can, without authentication:
* Grant high priority scheduling to a user process
* Connection sharing via a protected WiFi network
* Suspend the system
* Inhibit media detection
* Mount a device
* Restart the system
* Get information about system services
* Install debuginfos using abrt
* Enroll new fingerprints
If you're a network administrator you should be already setting
PolicyKit overrides for F10 and F11. It's basically the same for
Ubuntu too. You certainly shouldn't just be doing "yum update -y" on
every client machine...
