Well it sounds good, but it's hardly true... Fedora Workstation

pretty much the same as F20, asides from having software that is one

I'm not sure that's fair, comparing the feature list from F20
gnome-software to F21 is huge. People using the COPR have got a sneak
peak of some of the juicy stuff, but in f20 software was kinda dull.
It used to be named hawkey (not hawkeye), but it got renamed to hif
for
some reason.
The PackageKit backend used to indeed be called "hawkey", but it was
at best misleading as the hawkey backend actually used
{lib}hawkey+librepo+librpm and huge chunk of what used to be zif.
Hence hif.
