I would probably automatically scan removable media.  Just include a
quick "One moment while I scan for packages..." message when scanning,
since it'd take a moment.

As for destinations?  I'm not sure what you mean by the term.  Where
would I install a package except into my running OS?  Do you mean like
having an option for something like "rpm --root /foo" ?

I think the first thing that needs to be asked in this whole
conversation is "Who is the target audience for this tool?"  All
discussion must stem from this, or there probably won't be any good
direction for development, other than implementing every one of yum's
features in the GUI quasi-randomly.

So Seth, since you're ostensibly going to be doing the bulk of the
coding work on this, who's the target audience here?  =)
