I think you just agreed in a roundabout way  It *could* be made simple
perhaps but there is no documentation or best practices document that
covers how sysadmins are supposed to handle the simple configuration needs
like the pkla format did.   Replacing pkla with the ability to run
Javascript doesn't make them feel powerful.  It just makes them uneasy.
Sysadmins are not typically familiar with Javascript.  A lot of GNOME
developers these days are but that doesn't translate into a good design for
PolicyKit.
