Also, consider cases where repository priorities are in use; a

In cases like this it would be a good idea for the high priority repo to set skip_if_unavailable = False.
I don't disagree with you, and I'll be making the necessary changes to make sure I don't get bitten by a change of behavior here, regardless of what happens.
I'm just bringing it up because I'm likely not the only one using yum priorities, and this is a subtle side-effect of that; one that some folks might not be aware of (and while I'm aware of it, I didn't consider the possibility that the defaults might change out from under me ;)).
In the dnf case, it likely doesn't matter; I don't think dnf has grown support yet for repo cost/priority yet, has it? I only commented because I saw the BZ suggesting a similar change for yum, and wanted to warn that changing a default like this in mid-release might catch a few people by surprise.
(I was a little concerned to see that change show up mid-release for dnf, to be honest, but at least dnf's adoption is limited to the curious right now.)
