To quote the OP:

        On GNOME, gnome-software + packagekit + systemd work together to make
        the  user aware of software updates. This includes any installed
        applications, as well as OS + kernel updates. The user clicks on
        Restart & Install in gnome-software, or chooses that option in the
        reboot/poweroff panel. The system reboots, a special systemd offline
        updates target is triggered, and packagekit installs all the
        previously downloaded rpms with a progress indicator, then reboots
        (again).

I don't use Gnome so my understanding of this is based only on a literal
reading. It appears to say that packages are updated with a tool which
among other things causes two reboots. Obviously I know that the user
might just employ yum as I do myself (on KDE) but the description of the
GUI tool is quite specific. Which is why I asked if that's what really
happens. Call it a rhetorical question.
