I don't know quite who "they" are, but I am quite angry about it. Not
to the extent of leaving (like ESR did) but still quite angry.
Someone should explain why pirut is gone so completely.
Thats pretty easy if you've followed list discussions on it.. Pirut was
unmaintained and incapable of adapting to PolicyKit authorizations which is an
amazing feature of F9. Why its gone is because PackageKit needed to provide the
interface for package install behavior from file managers and it was best served
by taking over that interface from pirut.
And yes, you can still use yumex, or just use yum for getting many packages
installed at once. There is upstream work being done on making the 'one install
at a time' thing much more pleasant, and instead of complaining about it this
discussion could be taken to the upstream list where it would be useful in
talking about the options for making that UI change happen...
