From  Bugzilla Bug #529070 -  rpm packaging problems (cannot reinstall correctly):

I still think that allowing non-root to do status is valuable. Please open a
bug for this and we can discuss at bug council.

As stated earlier, nkinder of 389 stated that this was optional.  Also in
chats in IRC, I believe that this should not be changed at this time for the
following reasons:

    * no requirement
    * adding functionality (ability for non-root user to obtain status)
      that was not provided in previous versions of the product
    * information currently returned by 'status' may be considered
      'sensitive' based upon the customer's policy
    * would probably need to create a 'pkistatus' action for the existing
      'status', and provide much less information with a new 'status'
      action, and it is unclear why this would be needed
