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.  
There's no security problem in pkcheck, and all of the time spent 
insisting that there is serves to further delay fixing pkexec.
