This is a major change. I vote for secure by default.
If the admin wishes this "surprise-root" feature to be enabled he can
enable it.
I'm not sure how this is 'surprise root'. IT will only allow installs of
pkgs signed with a key you trust from a repo you've setup.
which pretty much means: if the admin trusts the repo, then it is okay.
Err no. Admins trusts software he has chosen to install from the repo. I
definitely don't want a user configuring an ftp server or running
anything with a cronjob on a server I look after.
If software starts running on a server that I didn't put there, it gets
taken offline.
But this is missing the point! PackageKit != non-server, abandon the
defaults.
if the admin doesn't trust the repo it should NOT be on the box and
enabled b/c an untrusted repo can nuke your entire world.
It's not about trusting a repo, it's about trusting the user.
