Yes, 3.21.90 with PK has bugs but they are different bugs (I am tired of
the xenial bugs!) and perhaps the bugs are less severe.
I figured it's too late to switch gnome-software to PK for yakkety
without someone really dedicated to fixing some of the new bugs and
making sure Ubuntu's
Switching to PackageKit might be an option for Yakkety, but PK comes
with its own set of bugs (mainly due to the aptcc PK backend being
"undermaintained" for a few years). The PK issues are documented in the
PackageKit bugtracker though and are just waiting for a brave person to
fix them ;-)

I tried the new appstream-glib (when it was released) with yakkety's
gnome-software and the addon feature works poorly with multiple UI
issues. I'm guessing the buggy apt plugin is part of the problem.
Although it's a bug fix, we should check whether the UI change works
well before introducing it
I discovered the reason for missing addons in GNOME Software by accident
a few weeks back.
Apply those two patches to appstream-glib in Xenial, and the addons
should appear:
