This is a pretty forward looking feature for desktop users, as long as
the packages are clean. And they normally are clean enough if they're
signed packages in my experience and opinion. Now I can tell my
friends that they can install the packages they need for any purpose.
They are prone to being too lazy to enter the root password to install
package(s), like most normal desktop users. And PackageKit rocks along
with in-built presto.

Of course, for public computers and servers, this needs to be modified
using that fix.
