Having just gone through several dnf-based upgrades and fielded
questions from other people doing the same, one part of the user
experience I'm really concerned with is how to handle the case where
dependencies aren't solved properly and something needs to be handled.
For me, that's usually "remove offending packages, put on list to
reinstall after upgrade", but... I wouldn't want to put a less savvy
user through that.
