PackageKit in Fedora 15 (beta)

Hi,

Removing PackageKit In Fedora 14 was easy and painless since it causes up to
5 packages, all *really* related to PackageKit in the form of a yum-plugin
and few other things.

On Fedora 15, trying to "yum remove PackageKit" causes the system to attempt
removing up to 74 MB worth of software, including gdm, empathy, bluez and
gnome-shell !!!! Which is pointless.

Is it *really* required to have PackageKit so deeply integrated and made an
essential package on the system. AFAIK, it's essentially a helper and a
front-end for yum, right?

Is it possible to recover Fedora 14's lightweight dependencies set, for
PackageKit?

Thanks,

-Ilyes
