Wayland is relatively new technology for Ubuntu and there are issues of running graphical applications with elevated privileges using sudo / gksu etc.
This has resulted in frustration and at times heated debate in the community. I would ask the TB to review wayland and policies and give a statement of clarification to be used by developers and end users as clarification of how graphical secuity / polkit etc is to be managed as we migrate to wayland. There are at times heated discussions regarding wayland, graphical applications, and sudo / xhost and some sort of statement or policy review from the TB would add clarity to the conversation, a roadmap for developers, and understanding on Wayland and the migration process to end users. Thank you for your consideration.
