-Fedora Project leader [[User:stickster|Paul W. Frields]], announced a change in for Fedora 12's PackageKit, which had allowed non-root users to install updates and new packages.  Frields wrote<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2009-November/msg00012.html</ref>,

-"The Fedora 12 release contained changes in the default PackageKit
-behavior that allow installation of packages by users in cases where:
-* the user is logged in on the local console, and
-* is installing packages signed with a previously trusted key, and
-* is using a previously configured and trusted repository
-After more discussion and thought, though, the package maintainers
-have posted to the fedora-devel-list mailing list agreeing to provide
-an update to Fedora 12's PackageKit.  The update will require local
-console users to enter the root password to install new software
-packages.  Details on the changes are found here<ref>
-https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-November/msg01445.html</ref>."
