Just run rm -rf / as root, it is much faster way to remove your os ;-)
dnf does what you tell it to do and ask for your confirmation, it is not it's job to protect you from doing stupid things with all kind of stupid logics.
As many others had said, a gun don't protect you for shooting yourself in foot.
You should properly stop wasting everybodys time and get on with something useful, I think everybody has figured out by now
that you don't like how dnf works, it dont add anything new, by saying the same stuff again & again.
many people stops reading fdl, because of all the flaming and people trash talking each other and that is sad for Fedora :-(

that is a joke - DNF even allows to remove libraries
with recursive dependencies uninstall the complete
operating system not only the running kernel
nobody can seriously argue that this is a acceptable behavior
to replace yum and "the developers decided so" shows once
more that recent Fedora decisions are selfish and only
pretend to care about users while not care
frankly even a packaging error or a unexpierienced user
tryies to solve dependency problems easily leads to
a destroyed system that way
[root@rawhide ~]# dnf remove pcre
