I would expect a revert back to where /usr/bin/dnf is dnf4 (but
hopefully dnf5 is still available/seperate).

Hopefully that can happen before branching in a few weeks.

With the intention of carrying two versions side by side for a while longer, does it make sense to use alternatives for this?

It might be more work than it's worth. However, it would be nice to have `dnf4`, `dnf5` and `dnf` commands all available with the default easily configurable.
