That's likely not the result of lack of protection, but just of running
Rawhide. If you ran Rawhide through the period when dnf5 was made the
provider of /usr/bin/dnf , then you didn't automatically get dnf
installed back when you updated to the post-revert versions. This is by
design, or rather, it's unfortunate but it would be rather icky to try
and 'fix' it, so folks decided not to. You're expected to be able to do
'dnf5 install dnf' if you run Rawhide and want it back.
Not really. On my Fedora 38 with updates,
`/etc/dnf/protected.d/dnf.conf` looks like this:
```
# DNF is obsoleted in Fedora 39 by DNF 5 and should no longer be
marked as protected.
# dnf
```
It's the result of an update on 05/23 (or just before) which
unprotected dnf, protected python3-dnf and with the following diff in
dnf related packages:
```
-dnf-data,noarch,dnf-data-4.15.0-1.fc38

[Yes, I store this info redantly on purpose for easy diffing/splitting.]
Currently my dnf is at dnf-4.16.2-1.fc38.noarch, config is unchanged,
and it would happily remove itself. (I also installed dnf5 recently,
it didn't change that config and is not aliased.)
