When gnome-software/packagekitd prepared packages for offline updates there was a checkbox in the shutdown dialog to perform offline updates before shutdown/reboot.
It was a convenient way for users to do updates and a reminder they have updates waiting without which many users fail to ever install updates.
Since (probably) F31 it no longer works. The checkbox doesn't show up when there are updates. To make the checkbox appear you have to open GNOME Software, go to the Updates screen, click "Reboot and install", click Cancel and then open the shutdown dialog.
This is most likely caused by suspending the packagekitd process. GNOME Shell then cannot check the status of updates and can't show the checkbox.
Proposed solutions:
1) revert the change to suspend the packagekitd process when it's not needed.
2) resume the packagekitd process to get the updates status before the shutdown dialog is shown.
The option 2) would be preferred if it significantly doesn't delay the shutdown dialog because 1) would result in constantly higher consumption of memory.

We think it's been broken since Fedora 29.

BTW: this regressed in PackageKit 1.1.11 (nice version number). So Fedora 29 was indeed the first broken version.

We're going to revert the change in PackageKit, so makes sense to do that for RHEL 8, rather than patch gnome-shell.
