Well, we'll certainly be using offline updates to do the actual transaction.

We won't be able to do the update if there are package conflicts.
We're aiming to show the apps that are problems and offer to remove
them, but we can't work magic.

This needs to be done in the rpm post scripts.

There are several mockups for GNOME Software already; these need more
work but are almost there. I'm almost certain we'll be using
gnome-software at least for the workstation spin although they'll of
course be a command line tool to schedule to upgrade. I've been asked
to spend some time to integrate bits of Wills work into PackageKit,
which I'll start to do in a couple of weeks time.
