Yeah, this is a really insane "feature"!

Let me assure you that this "feature" is only currently implemented in 
gnome-packagekit. The command-line tools will probably NEVER implement this. 
As for Apper, I can assure you that:
* this "feature" is not currently implemented in Apper,
* Apper's upstream author plans to support it in the future, but make it 
optional, and
* KDE SIG has strong reservations about the usefulness and desirability of 
this "feature" and it will likely end up disabled by default in Fedora if 
implemented.
