      How hard would it be to make dnf do the rpm
        transaction inside a proper system-level service (transient or
        otherwise)?  This would greatly increase robustness against
        desktop crashes, ssh connection loss, KillUserProcs, and other
        damaging goofs.
      I once hosed a RHEL5 system when an ssh terminal
        running yum died.  Sigh.
    
    Now that systemd kills processes on logout, and session timeout is
    required by security policies in many workplaces including mine, I
    fear we'll have more of those. I certainly had update sessions that
    involved hundreds of packages and took longer than the session
    timeout, whcih is often on ther order of several minutes.
