While trying to duplicate our functionality of PolicyKit-less HAL, I reached the conclusion that it's not possible with the current feature set of PolicyKit (I may of course be wrong). I think I'm going to need some way to automatically authorize members of *groups* (rather than just individual users) to take actions. As a over-simplified example, something like this in PolicyKit.conf:
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage*">
<match group="plugdev">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
While searching for similar requests/discussions, I found this:

Is this something planned for David's in-progress rewrite, and if not,
what are the chances of adding it? :-)
