It already detects what kind of connection you are on. When the
idle-bandwidth changes are done we can do things like this without
upsetting people actually using the connection.

Sure, remove PackageKit-yum-plugin or blacklist it in the yum
configuration. There's also now configuration for this value in the
systemwide config file, /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf:

# The time in seconds to wait when we get the StateHasChanged method
#
# This should be used when a native tool has been used, and the update UIs
# should be updated to reflect reality.
#
# default=5
StateChangedTimeoutPriority=5

Change this to something like 2400 and if should do pretty much what you want.
