Hello there,
Yes, the switch has happened indeed, since Fedora... 21?
The point I'm trying to make is, why keep yum, since the switch to dnf has already
happened?
My guess is that it to do with a lot of code expecting yum and not dnf.
At work we use different versions of Centos and they all support yum, not all support
dnf.
Even yum's plugins and extra utilities are still a thing.
And the config is in /etc/yum.repos.d

Best regards.
