Using PackageKit and yum on the command line is often painful as we
have to always download metadata unless it's less than a few hours
old. Being able to update the metadata once a week would be awesome
(with the possible exception of security updates) so that we could
schedule the 20Mb+ metadata update when the user is idle rather than
waiting for updates.
For me, only once a week is totally unacceptable. I have Apper check for
updates hourly. If the metadata isn't actually going to be refreshed on
those hourly runs, that'd really suck!
