Why would I remove PackgeKit yum plugin? I want to use PackageKit and yum interchangeably.
Maybe confusingly, there are two yum subpackages for PackageKit.
PackageKit-yum contains the yum backend and all the code for packagekitd to talk to yum and pass data. PackageKit-yum-plugin is a simple yum plugin that pokes PackageKit to drop internal caches and reload update lists (if an application is open) after the user has done a command wuth yum on the CLI that might change the state, like updating a package or enabling a repo.
So, it's pretty safe to remove PackageKit-yum-plugin if you don't mind the GUI's occasionally being out of sync with reality, but you really, really don't want to remove PackageKit-yum.
