knows, maybe the system administrator can just tweak a few settings in

Who is "we" here, though?
Should be evident: only speaking for myself, of course, hoping to
influence the Fedora Project otherwise I wouldn't be posting this to the
development list of the Fedora Project, would I? It's a meritocracy
after all isn't it?
No, I didn't mean that, sorry, and I definitely don't want to take the
conversation in *that* direction.
I'm just not convinced that not being able to ssh in to a server and edit
some config files but rather have to figure out how to tweak the
policy-daemon-of-the-month is the user experience a large segment of "we"
wants at all. Human-editable config files are a huge strength. Using a
policy daemon may be part of the answer, but it should be able to get its
configuration from something that can be fixed with vi.
