Don't worry, that's not gonna happen. Hawkey has been built on top of libsolv library that implements a different solver than yum uses. Under no circumstances will this change. The more likely scenario is that gnome- software/PackageKit will be forced by the policy to use the old yum which will make future adoption of dnf much more difficult.
