It's a point I've made elsewhere, but I'm not sure
it's perfectly okay
to keep talking about 'the desktop spin'. First of all, this does not
only affect the desktop live image: it also affects a default install
from either the DVD image or a network install. PackageKit is installed
by default in both those cases.
(I wouldn't be surprised if it's also on the Xfce and LXDE spins too,
btw).
It's also on the KDE spin. KPackageKit uses the same PackageKit behind the
scenes as gnome-packagekit.
And besides, I don't see this policy change as being appropriate even for
the GNOME desktop spin.
