Hello there,
I see, thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it.
About yum being a placeholder, it totally makes sense.
I guess I'll remove yum then, since I've started with dnf, and because i am going to be using dnf.
Thanks again.
Best regards.
francisco.

The 'yum' package and executable on Fedora is just a placeholder.
/usr/bin/yum is just a symlink to dnf-3. There is no legacy yum code
installed. The package and symlink just exists for people who are
used to typing 'yum', or they use 3rd-party software that runs 'yum'
instead of 'dnf'.
You can remove the yum package, it won't change the way packages are
managed on Fedora. It's just a helper package.
