Well, we could block yum in koji and remove it from all builders and see
what happens, but I think it will break all epel builds (unless we
switch epel to use dnf for buildroot population too) at least.

Can we put DNF in EPEL so people still targeting EL 7 can adapt their
scripts?
As a side note, this is a problem with Python 3, too; I can't get any
Python 3 bindings for the yum/rpm libs on EL 7, which makes it hard to
port software that uses them.
