Sure, I guess I didn't mean transaction in the techncial sense but more
like how it's exposed in the interface; i.e. that you don't need to take
the current approach that pirut does where you click on a bunch of
things and then have an "apply" step and a confirm step, or yum's
install confirmation. Could just start downloading and installing on
the first click.
