Red Hat is currently planning to port everything we care about that uses PackageKit to use dnfdaemon's D-Bus API. Currently that's gnome-software, gnome-shell, and gnome-initial-setup. (I think that's all we have in Fedora Workstation that depends on PackageKit?)
Are there any plans to provide the gstreamer or gtk plugins that automatically install codecs and fonts that are missing? (https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/tree/main/contrib) Or are those features just going away?
A PackageKit backend for dnf5 would also work and I have no doubt it will happen regardless. Surely that'd be the best option for Fedora if dnfdaemon does not have the same D-Bus API that PackageKit does, because pushing dnf-specific code into upstream projects when PackageKit exists is not very friendly. But Red Hat has a conflicting goal: we don't want to maintain PackageKit anymore!
Has anyone asked freedesktop.org if there are developers interested in maintaining it there? It certainly seems like something that fits in the category of "Desktop middleware and frameworks".
