If the idea is interesting it does imply that each person having scripts
depending on yum has to:
* s/yum/yum-legacy/
- Deploy to prod and run as before
* s/yum-legacy/dnf/
- Test and ensure it has a consistent behavior w/ yum (that the script is not
using any of the deprecated options, that there is no some surprises in some
weird corners)
So the scripts need to be updated twice against once if we just let dnf be dnf
and eventually let it provide a /usr/bin/yum optionally.
