I set Packagekit to check for updates never and yumBackend.py is still at

Some upstream developers don't want to give you a choice to uninstall
packagekit :)

yum remove gnome-packagekit, should remove the gui parts.
A hack to disable the backend is to edit
/etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf
and change
DefaultBackend=yum
to
DefaultBackend=nobackend
Then you get PackageKit out of you face.
