Why not suggest to the Design and Desktop teams that they put a link to PackageKit in the new GNOME3 dash by default, with the name "Get More Software"? People looking to *remove* software likely already know what the Add/Remove Software tool is for and where to find it. People who don't know where to find ways to add software would find that icon easily in the dash and understand a name like that. There may be specific usability reasons or motivations for why such an icon isn't good or useful. I'm not aware of them but that doesn't mean they don't exist. But that seems like it would help get further toward what Harish is talking about, without obscuring or possibly confusing the nature of our free software community.
