    Kinda feels like writing a script that implements the sudo CLI but calls pkexec would be an easier way to do it. Given that so many systems already come with both sudo and pkexec, do we really need yet another option?

      The point of this is to implement some form of privilege escalation without the SUID mechanism. sudo, pkexec and doas are all SUID.
