I like the idea.
But maybe packagemanager and updater go hand-in-hand, and therefore 
should both be called "Muon"?
Doesn't the updater also update individual packages not listed in 
Discover because they dont qualify as "Software/Apps"?

Discover could be independent though aka the "preferred software center 
of choice under Plasma".
