That's sad. Maybe we want to revert this decision? But: would that be
a step forward? I really can't say.
Ah, yes, I would also be for keeping the
packagekit related stuff in.
True, PK looks a bit strange in a xfce environment but the "install
missing codecs", "install detected printer's driver" and "click
to
install" are rather useful features... I cannot say anything about the
main interface though -- I never liked yumex (but it's a couple of years
since I last tried it) and PK also never grew on me -- looks like I'm
stuck on command line yum forever, so I'm not very fit to give opinions
on gui package managers.
