Easily patched, though - one short function checks if a tty is local, and it's just a matter of adding an extra conditional case.

Oh, ok - that'd make sense. Pam_console has always been pretty contentious, and if PolicyKit becomes a standard for all distros, that should do a good a job as is feasible for now... As to whether anyone is using it, I think Fedora does as of latest version, though I could be wrong. Current HAL doesn't require it, but won't build without explicitly disabling PolicyKit with a configure flag. It'll be mandatory for the next version of HAL (0.5.9). Simon.
