The PA "0.9.19" version in question (with the Policy system) is "borrowed" from some product program as I said before. It means that it includes some patches to original .19, and some of those are related to stability as well as to some other things. Certainly, that is not "clean" or "pure" way to go, but as far as I have understood this issue, the mentioned combination is really product level implementation. Of course, that still needs to be proven with MeeGo 1.2 stack on our normal QA process. Anyway, I am more like messanger here, so please don't shoot me..
