My larger concern is that there *does* seem to be a security issue with pkexec that has at least two very simple fixes, and that issue isn't being addressed because of the noise involved in arguing about pkcheck.

you realize noone on this email list has anything to do with the source code for this pkcheck thing? CentOS uses the code exactly as is that Red Hat releases. You're tilting at windmills in the wrong country here.
