  The same happens e.g. when overwriting an existing file in the background. 
  Such applications explicitly handle such cases to avoid prompts (e.g. by setting the overwrite flag or by prohibiting any user interaction).

  I was generally speaking. I think that the opt-in approach will lead to annoying inconsistencies (even within an application e.g. when someone forgets to add the `KIO::PrivilegeExecution` flag in newly added code). 
  Some applications like Dolphin will allow privileged operations while others (e.g. Plasma, Krusader, ...) don't (if not patched). This is bad from a user point of view.
