So, Jeremy helped me 'flip the switches' to turn PackageKit into the default GUI package installer and updater for the F9 beta. Pup and Pirut are still available, but not installed by default. There will no doubt be bugs. There are some places where PK lacks functionality that pirut/pup have. Here's the current bug lust, please check it before you file. http://tinyurl.com/3awtcp Also, I thought it might be a good time to revisit the default update strategy. Right now, gnome-packagekit provides an update icon similar to puplet. The default configuration is to just notify the user that updates are available. Some people have suggested applying security updates automatically as the default configuration. I personally like the idea, but I suspect that some people will not like this behavior as the default.
I would suggest downloading all updates by default, prompting the user for installing the updates the first time with a checkbox that defaults to auto updates from then on.
