If you upgrade from F19 to F20 dnf will not be installed, so I see
no harm in removing it from F20.
yum is the main tool to use, dnf is installed to be tested.

As a matter of curiosity...
Is it OK to remove yum with dnf ? will it cause any problems ?
As far as I know yum cannot be removed. And dnf uses yum configuration
files in addition to its own, at least when I enabled updates-testing
for yum, it was made active for dnf as well.
The repositiory files, including the one defining updates-testing,
aren't part of yum.
I guess you are referring to a systems package data base aka. rpmdb (The
files under /var/lib/rpm).
Actually I was think of the files in /etc/yum.repos.d (that directory
itself is co-owned by the fedora-release package on F20 at least).
I haven't tried it
Neither have I.
but I think it would be possible
to remove yum and its dependants without causing too many problems,
though it would remove PackageKit so you would have to keep your system
up to date manually.
Correct, this is what is supposed to happen. You'd have to resort to using
plain rpm.
or dnf which I assume will still work (though it might be worth having a
plan ready to reinstall yum with rpm in case it doesn't).
