Ok, so what about the user's wanting to know what his system is doing?
Without a simple "Downloading..." or "Installing/Updating..." message
and its subsequent progress bar, the user will definitely end up
wondering what on earth is consuming their downstream bandwidth and/or
why their system has become somewhat unresponsive (CPU usage due to RPM
installation).
Also, with no feedback to the user, how does one know that clicking
"Apply" actually did something? How does he know that the
downloading/installing is completed and he can therefore safely shutdown
or hibernate (etc.) his or her machine?
