[Bug 256216] Re: Ubuntu is missing /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm group ownership udev rule

D-Bus/PolicyKit seems very much overengineered and too complex for this
issue, and it doesn't fit the model of RDMA very well anyway, since the
whole point of RDMA is that unprivileged userspace applications use RDMA
hardware directly without the overhead of a system call into the kernel,
let alone a D-Bus method call to another process.

Anyway I don't think it makes sense to try and implement what you're
talking about just for Ubuntu, so I suggest you close this bug as "won't
fix" and I'll just point people at fixed packages in my PPA.
