There is an ongoing discussion on devel@ group about dnf being 100%
compatible with yum. Some people say that it should behave exactly like
yum (I think including all current "bugs".) I don't know if you should
expect any improvements in dnf other than speed, they're just to
controversial for some people afraid of changes.
Making dnf bug for bug compatible with yum would be silly. Replacing
yum with a new program that's not as effective would be just as silly.
However, AIUI, the change isn't expected to come for a year or more, so
there's time for them to work on things like this. Still, if all they
end up with after all that work is a program that does what yum does but
faster, it looks like an awful lot of work for little gain. Why not
just put the time into making yum faster?
