Well having user that upgrade have a different package manager then
those who install new is not only "not perfect" but a no go.
Simple obsolete yum so that dnf gets pulled in on upgrades and have
rename the yum package to yum-legacy or something and have users that
want it for whatever reason install it by hand.
