I have a script I wrote that we've been using for years to manage large number of servers using yum to manage rpm install/upgrades etc via ssh from management server. So long as that usecase is covered still, ie dnf can be scripted around with sane exit codes, than I'm a happy bunny.  From what I've seen this would appear to be the case.

Obviously comments around cli make me nervous with the above being a common approach to managing server farms.

CLI is not scalable, you need to fork processes for that. There is also
no way to communicate errors to the software that do the automation,
since you can only transmit string without any formatting or
translation.

You are also mixing something mean for a user and something meant for a
software.
