First, one thing that would be very handy (but could perhaps just be a dnf plugin) is to install from koji, but use signed packages (if available). I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement in your tool, but you might take a look if you are interested. Secondly, I think this could indeed be handy for folks running rawhide or branched, but I worry about people on stable releases mistakenly using it and upgrading a chunk of their install to rawhide when they didn't realize it would do that. Not sure how to prevent that though, perhaps a warning in some cases? Anyhow, will poke around with the tool and let you know any further thoughts. Thanks for sharing! kevin
