9 Hi Chris, I resolved the confusion. sys-auth/polkit is a rewrite of
10 sys-auth/policykit which was removed from the tree. I looked at the
11 policies provided by selinux-policykit and it looks like, despite the
12 fact that they still use the same names _policykit_ it does properly
13 target polkit. I even checked with Fedora 15 for good measure. Same
14 thing there. The upshot is that the policy should *not* be removed.

16 Thanks for catching that.
