[SOLVED] dbus and polkit cleanup after 12/25 -current changes

I see this in the December 25th -current changelog:

Quote:
there's also a massive
cleanup of polkit/dbus related packages to move most of the config files out
of /etc and not install them as .new. Local config files that override the
shipped ones may be placed in the directories in /etc to override the ones that
we ship. Thanks to Robby Workman for this!
None of the packages included in Slackware place any files in
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ or /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ any more, but there may be
third-party packages that still do. However, since Slackware's packages
originally installed these as .new files, the leftover configs will remain.
You'll probably want to take a look in those directories to clean out any
config files that you haven't modified yourself or that belong to packages that
aren't part of Slackware itself.
Where did the Slackware-installed rules move to, and how do I decide which ones should be removed from /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ ??

I haven't modified any of them, but maybe there are some not installed by Slackware. Should those be left there?

I'm just looking for some guidance on how to do this cleanup.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=Li9YXr6Vg9k:0ELHyUXql_A:F7zBnMy latest?i=Li9YXr6Vg9k:0ELHyUXql_A:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=Li9YXr6Vg9k:0ELHyUXql_A:gIN9vFwLi9YXr6Vg9k
