I'm getting a bit confused lately.  How many package managers does
Fedora have these days?  IIRC, until a year or two back, it was the same
backend (yum), but many front ends (yumex, all the packagekit based
frontends for the different desktops).  Did packagekit start doing the
backend bits itself?

package managers, both are "Official" to some capacity.  For cli users
like myself, it's dnf, for gui users it's something packagekit based.

Am I mistaken?
