Well, it was expected to me. A few months ago, I was contacted about some
questions on modifying D-Bus, which looked like a security framework. I
answered that the patches would not be accepted upstream and that they seemed
to be reinventing PolKit. I specifically answered that, as a D-Bus developer, I
would oppose the patches myself.
After that, I haven't heard anything. I have never seen an explanation of what
the Harmattan security framework is, does or looks like.
The patches that were sent are at least nowhere near what I was asked back
then. So even today I don't know if the patches I was asked were part of the
framework or not, and whether they have been dropped or not.
By the way, the answer to "why not PolKit" back then was that it required
applications to be changed.
PS: yes, I'm a Nokia employee; see below.
