Using it might make it easier to understand. PackageKit works across 
multiple backends (different package managers like yum, apt and so on) 
and UI is fire and forget. You can queue tasks without locking the UI. 
PackageKit in Fedora 9 is not the latest revision since it was frozen a 
while back. The latest version has many changes and when that gets 
pushed out in a couple of weeks time to Fedora 9, it would be much better.
