Yeah, sorry, I got caught in the replying-to-docs-list trap. here's
what I had written (mostly the same as you but I also flagged things
that I thought could push this into system-wide change territory):

These two in combination make this a system-wide change. Current policy is
that:
"The RPM package installation GUI that is installed by default should use
the same dependency solver/backend as the non-GUI default."
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/669#comment:24
So we'd need to move to hawkey for the non-GUI default as well. Is the
packaging team ready to make that shift for F20?
No, there is still at least several months of intensive work ahead of us if we
don't want the shift to end up as an epic fail.
A shift to replace (as opposed to supplementing) a package-centric
view to
an application-centric view might also be a system-wide change. I think
I incline towards this still being a self-contained change as the non-GUI
offering will continue to be package-centric (so it's supplementing) but
I could be convinced otherwise.
Thanks
