PackageKit, as in the daemon has been pretty stable for ages.
PackageKit-glib2 has been stable up until recently, where we broke API
to fix a bug in a little-used piece of API (most applications,
including GPK, unaffected). PackageKit-qt has had wild changes, which
the QT and KDE guys said they needed to fix bugs in KPackageKit.
KPackageKit has a much smaller community base than GNOME PackageKit
(which is expected, it's a younger project) and so the developers only
have the resources and desire to work on git master, rather than
stable branches.

If you want to talk to anybody about stability, it's probably the
PackageKit-qt guys you need to talk to, and offer help. I'm pretty
sure the situation will get better over time, as the -qt library
settles down and the kpackagekit project gains momentum.
