Moreover, with the policy daemons reading settings from gconf, who knows, maybe the system administrator can just tweak a few settings in the Fedora Directory Server and the changes gets propagated out to his servers. I really think that's the user experience we want; not some set of human-editable configuration files in /etc.
Experience tells us that a set of human-editable configuration files is very reliable. Maybe said set could be read by each client after asking the policy daemon; this way, we can both (a) let the local administrator take the matter in his hands, and (b) have a fallback if the policy daemon is not running, which leads to (c) the local administrator can do away with the policy daemon entirely and remove (rpm -e) it on locked-down hosts (hoping nothing is shipped which *requires* the policy daemons, of course).
