Yum will likely be replaced with dnf afaik. I don't think zif is under
consideration at all.
Yes, that's the plan. But dnf is still Python. So if we really want to get
Python out of minimal install, there is a room for possible alternatives I
guess. But none of this is certainly happening for at least a year or two, we
don't want to break things by rushing.
