No path to kdesu after update to plasma6?

Just did pacman -Syu and got the full kde update. I found that kdesu no longer works as it is not in my path. I don't recall this ever being an issue in the past - did I miss something?

I created a symlink in my user bin directory (ln -s /usr/lib/kf6/kdesu) and it seems to be working again.

kdesu was never meant to be in path - this was just fixing a historical inconsistency

kdesu is now `/usr/lib/kf6/kdesu`, it's no longer in the PATH. And you can use pkexec instead.
