Err, "the team" didn't.  PackageKit isn't Fedora specific.  You seem to
be assuming that there is a monolithic entity working on changes. That
is far from the case. There are thousands of developers working on
various things.  Today, the Fedora Engineering team will meet on IRC and
make a decision on the right path forward.  That would be a team decision.
