Are there any concerns about such change?
I believe that >90% users wouldn't notice anything as it's related to the history database only.

Since we've changed the database entirely, what's the point of keeping same algorithm for calculating checksum?

What's the benefit in changing to be compatible with YUM as opposed
to stickin with current alogorithm ?
Surely if we don't change it, even fewer users will notice that DNF's
behaviour is different from YUM's, since DNF has been the default for
many releases now.
I could understand the motiviation to stay compatible with YUM if we
were only just about to switch Fedora from YUM to DNF, but time is
way in the past now. Shouldn't we optimize for the fact that DNF is
the more widely deployed & used tool, and thus not worry about
YUM compatibility in respect of the history DB ?
