Well I do grant all of these individual end users root privileges so
they can install security updates and perform other important tasks.
Otherwise it would just be too much work for me.

That said I'm now convinced that 'gnome-disk-utility' should stay. I
raised the issue here first (and included you and Julien) because I
trust the judgment of the group much better than my own ;^)

I'll undoubtedly be testing Ubuntu GNOME a bit later in this cycle and
I'll raise that issue with Jeremy Bicha or other members of Ubuntu
GNOME. So we can consider this issue closed for discussion.

Many thanks,

Lance

PS: The reason I'm waiting to talk to Jeremy is because the new GNOME
classic session has not entirely landed, and since RHEL is adopting it
as default I want to wait and see what the actual "tree-view" looks like
in that session w/o adding any packages from a PPA ;^)
