1. Is there a yum compatibility test suite? It dnf is supposed to be a

From someone that's had to work with the yum API in the past, I think
such a thing would be very difficult if not impossible to achieve.
I am not sufficiently familiar with yum's internal API to be able to
have a strong opinion.
However, when looking at it from a broader angle, your claim/statement
then would qualify all "compatibility claims" on dnf to be cheating.
The
yum API grew organically and never really had any kind of published
API docs or ABI stability promises. yum as a command line tool works
well enough modulo multilib and depsolving, yum as a python API, not
so much.
Well, I start to wonder how people had been able to implement "yum
plugins"?
Do have at least "/usr/bin/yum" compatibilty-test suite?
