I think everyone agrees with this.  Indeed, we already have yumex, which is not 
going away as far as I'm aware.

The question is, should this particular GUI program, gnome-software, be able to 
do that, given that it's target audience seems to be users and not system 
administrators?  Users who, nowadays, presumably often bring with them 
expectations gained from using Google Play and the Apple App Store.

(I guess a follow-on question is, should this particular GUI be the default GUI 
for installing software?  One could imagine that perhaps it would be in Fedora 
Workstation but not in Fedora Server, for example)
