DNF in early versions (1.1) provided a warning when `yum` was called.
It was nice and transparent way how to send a message about
redirection to DNF, but we got very strong negative feedback about
that, therefore we removed it. I don't think we should repeat that
approach. Personally I don't feel comfortable with education of our
users using warnings, because they have value at first occurrence but
then they are annoying.
Why don't you make them one-time only, then? I.e. drop a file in user's
home directory, e.g. ~/.config/dnf5/dnf-warning-displayed or something
and not display the warning if the file is there.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
