SUMMARY
kf6-kdesu should learn a polkit backend for distributions that would like to avoid shipping sudo or any other suid binary.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
More and more distributions are gaining security conscious of suid binaries. polkit offers a great alternative and also allows for far more potent rules from the point of a sysadmin. Most GUI focused stuff nowadays is already using polkit to request privileges
