in a few updates not even needing it (I would first see what is
broken, and if not something "vital", use --skip-broken), while dnf
would just fail with cryptic messages. I can keep up if kde or gnome
is broken, or some other stuff that does not prevent boot and a
functional system.

dnf really does need --skip-broken like support if it is to replace
yum. yum can be a lot faster than the needed work around to get dnf
to work equivalently. I am considering going back to yum in rawhide
rather than continuig to test dnf in rawhide because of this issue.

dnf's default behavior is like yum with --skip-broken already.

WHAT?

--skip-broken is a band-aid to work around packaging mistakes and bugs and NOT be the default.

IMO, this kind of behavior is not helpful and therefore should be reverted.

If thats not working and you need to find out more, add '--best' to see
things without 'skip-broken'.

If that still doesn't work, please file a bug. ;)
