These two in ocmbination 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."

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?

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.
