I'm with Jan...Thank God for yum-deprecated.  Been trying to get systemd updated with DNF forever and it's been throwing an error about fedora-release..yum-deprecated has it handled.  The whole skip-broken part of yum makes it so much easier to actually do updates.  DNF's handling of broken packages by stopping the update cold is worthless.

My $.02.

IIRC this feature is on the roadmap and should be implemented in a matter of
weeks.

Thanks
