The original poster is hoping for the
"death of Admin Authentication"
I may need to clarify why I'm glad Admin Authorization is going away.
At the beginning, there were 2 authorizations mode: None & Root.
Then, IIRC, Admin authorization arrived with a new nice plist format on
Jaguar.
Then problems started: when admin authorization was on, some things
behaved differently from what was expected (directory permissions not
being set correctly on 10.3 when the package is relocatable for
instance). Another issue is the confusion introduced by Admin
authentication vs Root authentication as it's difficult to sort out
which one to use in which case. So far I haven't encountered a package
made by Apple and only requiring Admin authentication.
