I too thought that was a little odd. As far as pirut goes, when you go 
to install pirut it installs gnome-packagekit. But I agree, it's a PITA 
when you want to install a bunch of packages, you gotta wait for each 
one to complete before it allows you to request more. I guess yumex 
maybe the way to go.
