Where have you seen KDE needing it? See my reply: KDE stuff should be using
kdesu, not pkexec.
The journal scan posted to the kde list by Garry T. Williams actually does
not contain a single invocation of pkexec. Those are all KAuth actions in
the org.kde.kcontrol.kcmsddm.* namespace. pkexec uses the
org.freedesktop.policykit.exec action. And none of the hits in Adrian
Sevcenco's ag scan are KDE software. (I don't know if any of those are on
the current KDE Spin, but they should not be.)
