One in particular is.... dnf erase kernel deletes all packages called kernel In Yum, the running kernel is spared. There is no reason to keep this in DNF, the user can always specify concrete versions on the command line, e.g.: dnf erase kernel-3.9.4 I suppose the reasoning behind this is "Well the user can already shoot themselves in the foot with "rm -rf / " so why not give them another tool to commit suicide. :-) As we know, all end users are intelligent and never make typing errors and never make changes to their systems after sitting in the bar until 3AM. What the heck. It will at least give some interesting problems for the mailing list to deal with. :-) -- Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own.
