The problem with this way is that it is simple, but *not* robust.
That's why I have to look for .rpmnew files after every update.
That's to be expected. The package manager shouldn't destroy your config when
the package has a different one, and it doesn't. You don't need to look for
them though, just look at the output from `dnf` during the update.
