Barring contingencies, dnf has been approved[0] as the default

it's a substantial change. If you have been using it, and especially
if
you've been following bug reports[1], you probably know that the
behavior of dnf can differ[2] subtly or surprisingly from what we've
come to expect from yum.
Because of the potential confusion, I propose that we make documenting
dnf a priority for the F22 release. Specifically, the System
Administrators Guide deals with package management the most, but
essentially *every* guide will have scattered yum invocations. Let's
branch each guide slated for F22, work through the changes, then
review
and merge the branch. The System Administrators guide is going to
really
need some special attention, as it should probably address all the
quirks and snags that users will run into.
This is an excellent opportunity for new contributors. For most
guides,
the changes required are very straightforward. It would be a
closed-ended endeavor and a manageable time investment - *if* we start
soon. If you're able to take on a guide, please reply.

Hello everyone,
I've been using dnf for quite a while now, and filing bugs and so on. I
should be able to help with this. I'll try finding some time this week
and jump in.
