This change is really light on details (or progress?). How is this going
to be different (and why) from the dnf system-upgrade plugin? Since it
is GNOME Software related I guess it is going to run while the system is
active, not during reboot? Part of the reason for fedup/system-upgrade
was to avoid breakage resulting from upgrading changing running code.


Also can we ensure that gnome software/packagekit updates the dnf database correctly before we recommend, or even enable, this upgrade method?

It's bad enough right now with F23 and dnf autoremoving stuff installed via the packagekit interfaces but add in a whole system upgrade being out of sync with the way dnf thinks of the system and it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
 
Bonus points for dnf history showing packagekit actions too ;)
