It's important to some enterprise customers to keep the history db in a good shape.
Fedora users don't care about that much in general.
This makes sense. Let me ask from another angle: does Fedora lose
anything from not using the current dnf history algorithm (apart from
the discontinuity when we switch)? Would it make sense to have that be
a configurable option where Fedora defaults to the dnf model and RHEL
defaults to the yum model or is it essentially a cosmetic difference?
