Why couldn't you spell out fork properly. Or were you referring to
fsck?
Seems to me that the better question to have been asked
by the OP would have been: What was WRONG with yum?
and: What does dnf fix that was
broken in yum?
My view: The only thing that was wrong with yum, was it being
work-in-progress, when its maintainer passed away.
Later somebody fell into the common trap of believing a rewrite was
superior/easier than gradual improvements. IMO, dnf once more proved
this consideration wrong.

What's interesting to me, is that you cannot compile the very last working
yum and expect it to build and work flawlessly in in fc22 and later.
THAT is more upsetting to me than the issues/problems in dnf.
