That value is directly from du -sh on /var/cache/PackageKit after the
~30 minute pause following first login, so I don't see how I'm
overstating anything.

OK, just now, I did another clean install of Fedora 21 Workstation,
reboot, login, went through g-i-s and then walked away. 10 minutes
later, /var/cache/PackageKit/ looks like:

# du -sh *
0 downloads
50M hawkey
211M metadata

25 minutes later:

# du -sh *
0 downloads
50M hawkey
398M metadata


If I go to /var/cache/PackageKit/metadata/updates/packages/ indeed
there's a pile of rpms, so this is package data not just metadata. But
nevertheless this tranche is being silently downloaded by packagekitd
and I have no obvious way to opt out of this behavior, and it begins
fairly soon after first login with out me having launched any
applications, including Software.
