So, can you clarify which bits of the API you are supporting, and also
the extra API you're intending to add. If the complete API isn't
implemented, I think it's an exaggeration at best to call it "another
implementation".

I also think it's a shame the new API couldn't be added to PackageKit
itself. Even stuff like AddLicenseKey would make sense as it could be
re-used by RHEL, SLED and that kind of thing.
