Fedora 12 to remove unprivileged package installation

"The Fedora 12 release contained changes in the default PackageKit behavior that allow installation of packages by users in cases where:

"* the user is logged in on the local console, and
* is installing packages signed with a previously trusted key, and
* is using a previously configured and trusted repository

"After more discussion and thought, though, the package maintainers have posted to the fedora-devel-list mailing list agreeing to provide an update to Fedora 12's PackageKit."
