We voted with our feet.  I turn packagekit off immediately, and do
updates using yum directly from the command line.  I have scripts that
customize the process so it is exactly the way I want it to be.  If you
want control, it is there for you to utilize.  If you just want the
packagekit gui developer to make the interface exactly the way *you*
want it, you'll probably be waiting for awhile.  ;-)
