We just cannot (and will not) do the EULA on upgrade - what if there
is no user present and it's automatic and unattended?

Also, I would appreciate it if you didn't bully the issue with
statements like "...without it, PackageKit might not be usable for
openSUSE"

The reason comments like this won't work is:

* I don't use openSUSE
* I don't like software with EULAs
* I don't think per-system EULAs like this are legal
* It makes the code massively more complicated.

Just my opinion, but this how I feel.

Richard.
