metadata when I call 'sudo dnf update'? That's how I'm reading this.
If that's true, why the devil not?
At a guess, for marketing reasons. People see apt as being quicker
than yum, and in a large part that's because it doesn't update
metadata where yum does, so people are comparing two different things.
I believe that not checking metadata is retarded and I don't think
we're right in moving to the same architecture. But it wouldn't
surprise me if that's the rationale.
