I don't know if it should or not. I'll let design decide that. :)

The updates panel isn't doing that, as I understand. It listens for the
finished signal and then runs pkcon internally. Unless of course that's
changed very recently (though I suspect not).

Also, I think it internally runs the updates in sequence, and doesn't
just send them all to udm, even when one hits update all. I'm not 100%
sure on that, but I think that is the case.
