DNF is using "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" which is one reason more to finally rename it back to YUM when it starts to replace it instead demand users all over the world change working configs, but that's a different topic nobody cares about

if other sofwtare like Packagekit ignore that global options of the package manager just file bugreport for them

>>> I wonder if having a single packages.conf is THAT hard!!!

for DNF, YUM, Packagekit and what not else?
surely, the same way hard to just proceed the configuration of yum.conf, they all would needed to be changed

I'm fine with using yum.conf if everybody respects it, but I didn't propose it because:
1) There are some options in yum.conf that DNF/PK doesn't recognize
2) DNF has some specific options in dnf.conf which yum doesn't support
3) PK/GNOME Software have ... well I'm yet to completely discover but at least they have some options controlled by gsettings! and some in /etc/PackageKit/ which is completely unique to itself!

So, I thought that maybe every package *likes* to have its specific settings method; and therefore I proposed to have a global configuration which configures main package manager policy.
