Most parts of kde just work fine without *kit. The problem is with
gnome applications, but it is alternatives in most (all?) cases, and I
can live without gnome. I was never fan of it.
As me, you made a choice. GNU/linux is not about freedom, but also
about choice, because freedom is also the freedom of choice. I will not
force you to remove clementine from your system, so don't force me to
install *kit. If some day in the future, it is no other choice about
*kit than to install it, I just will shift to another OS. I don't want
it and this is not negotiable. If GNU/linux become like windows, thanks
to polkit, I will choose the tangent and find an alternative.
My choice was to remove all the apps that depend on an idiotic software
that cause severe regressions into my system (startx that doesn't work
without to run *kit, that when my desktop, fvwm-crystal, know nothing
about it! and auto mounting that doesn't worked any more). So, the only
3 things that made polkit for me was 1) to screw up a good working
system, 2) to force me to run the totaly non needed daemon that screwed
up my system and is a waste of system resources, and last but not least,
3) to force me to run a software that screwed up my system and that is
totally non manageable.
Cheers,
Dominique
