Detailed Description
We'll implement a graphical user interface for system upgrades. The implementation will use PackageKit and the libhif stack as a backend and GNOME Software as a frontend. First supported version is going to be Fedora 23->24 upgrades.
Benefit to Fedora
This makes it easier for users to keep up to date with Fedora's rapid 6 month schedule, making sure users have an easy way to upgrade to latest Fedora.
