This makes sense. Let me ask from another angle: does Fedora lose
anything from not using the current dnf history algorithm (apart from
the discontinuity when we switch)? Would it make sense to have that be
a configurable option where Fedora defaults to the dnf model and RHEL
defaults to the yum model or is it essentially a cosmetic difference?
To me, it's more a cosmetic difference and I don't think it deserves a configurable option for switching the behavior.
It is more important to unify the behavior, document it and cover with tests.
