yep, so not distro-sync

nonsense when i read the bugreport

* system-upgrade now uses dnf (standard "dnf update" approach)

THAT is the problem and i really wonder what somebody thinks by
implement it that way after *many years* of "yum --releasever=XX
distro-sync" works absolutely relieable

* change "dnf update" mode during system upgrade to
    "dnf distro-sync --allowerasing"

THAT is the right direction but nonsense because --allowerasing is a
terrible idea, anyways "dnf --releasever=XX distro-sync" is not affected
by both wrong solutions as far as i see (expect DNF is intentionally or
unintenioally broken elsewhere there)

You need --allowerasing for updates which obsolete other packages, if
not you can't update

what??????????????????????

that would be another regression compared to yum

distro-sync can downgrading packages which in upgrading is not the best
place . You can do it after upgrade the system .
dnf update --allowerasing  is what I want /need

the whole purpose of distro-sync is that it can downgrade - as exmaple you may have stuff from updates-testing installed and updates-testing not enabled due distro-sync and so the versions in the newer release can be lower

the only right thing to do in that case is downgrade them, also for packages where maintainers just forgot to rebuild for the next release which happened often enough in the past
