Why isn't this idea merged into PackageKit and the rest of the

Or were you expecting other types of notifications?
The motivation for this system was that when we managed to break
PackageKit's notification system, we couldn't use the PK notification
system to tell people to install the update to fix the PK notification
system. =)
(I suppose if we have two mechanisms, we'd have to try really hard to
break both of them at once. But I'm not really sure if a generic
mechanism for us to spam the user is a great idea.)
