They really want to make dnf work this way.
This is explained here:

Yes, I have read that, but (strongly) disagree.

The running kernel should not be removed with a simple 'dnf erase kernel' (why did they change remove into erase?), a better solution would be to safe guard the running kernel, only removing it if you explicitly ask for it:

$ uname -a
Linux tux 3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 23 16:44:31 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ dnf erase kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64

The same thing could be said about other packages now protected in yum. Please protect them in the same way in dnf.
