I don't know why the time to rebuild rpms is important, updates are now

Offline updates are only a (mis)feature of the GNOME "Workstation" product.
The tools shipped by all the other spins (Apper, Yumex) do immediate updates
as always.
...which brings this thread to the end of its useful life.
If you have constructive suggestions for how to improve detection of
'metered' connections, please direct them to the desktop list, or send
patches to the gnome-software component in bugzilla.
Just wanted to remind that I would like to see an 'integrated' approach.
It doesn't help if PK decides to not download anything but DNF starts to
refresh its cache when I'm on a 'metered' connection.
Also, any non-user-friendly approach is a no-go. If a first time
GNU/Linux user which happens to use Fedora (which is rare these days, at
least around me), come and tell me that Fedora has ate his 1 month
internet credit, I'd prefer to tell him "Oh, sorry, you should use
something like Ubuntu instead" rather than "You should open an
application called 'Terminal', run a gsettings .... command, and then a
'systemctl mask ...' command to mask dnf makecache timer/service using
sudo/su"; which will most probably cause him to run away from Fedora
anyway (maybe back to Windows)!
