I think you might have misunderstood what's happening. We
don't want to offer
Hopefully I did not :)
dnf as an alternative to yum. Dnf is its successor. Yum is deprecated
by dnf
in F22 and is very likely going to be removed in one of the next releases.
For releases I expect it to be functional. I use rawhide for several years
already, so I am used to stuff breaking.
The problem is that fedora-review and/or mock were broken for more
than two months, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208912
so I was using -o--yum.
I had also switched back to yum in rawhide due to --skip-broken, and
in a few updates not even needing it (I would first see what is broken,
and if not something "vital", use --skip-broken), while dnf would just fail
with cryptic messages. I can keep up if kde or gnome is broken, or
some other stuff that does not prevent boot and a functional system.
That's why we want to migrate users to dnf but at the same time
we want to
give them a possibility to stay a little bit longer on yum if absolutely
necessary.
Thanks for understanding
Jan
