That would imply that someone actually took the decision to *remove* the protections against leaving the system with no installed kernel. Was this discussed? What were the proposers smoking?

I don't think that is implied here.  dnf changes the very core element of yum which is the custom dependency resolving logic and replaces it with libsolv while retaining nearly all the core command line options and configurations.

So, it is just that all the yum features are not rewritten to work against this fairly invasive change.  Note that dnf was originally introduced in Fedora 18 and is proposed to become default only by Fedora 22 so there is a  large amount of time that it has gone through testing and user feedback and still about an year left.  So it is good to get your opinions in earlier by testing it now if you haven't done so already
