dnf requires python (unless you use that C version you pointed out,
which I had other objections to). Circles anyone?
Circles indeed -- that was the start of this thread, wasn't it.

That helps with image creation. It doesn't help with scale, too much
choice, and churn. Just because something is possible technically,
doesn't mean it is a good idea.
Not sure what you mean by "scale" then. I also don't think too much
choice is a problem here. See for example the success of

well, we have other initiatives aimed at modulating that.
