Why would I want permission prompts? Most systems are single-user systems; if you're logged in, you're the administrator, even if you haven't yet invoked your superpowers. Arguambly you should have to confirm if you want to do something dodgy; but if all you have to do is say "Yes, thanks for the warning", then you don't need any kits.
Really, I have difficulty imagining this group of Linux users who are constantly hot-laptoping, so that they need multi-user support sprinkled all over the OS. I can see that it's useful in a pair-programming environment, where you might have a lab or workstations with a standard config; but apart from that, how often does someone else log in to a desktop/laptop computer you normally use? Or one you own?
I don't think hotdesking and hotplugging are urgent consumer requirements. I don't think the people producing this stuff are aiming it at consumers.

Or use what was written before, if it matches your use-case. That worked, for many people. Still does for some.
