That sounds like a good idea, and could be filed as a bug against
dnf. I'd prefer if it's optional though, because for me 'sudo dnf
install foo<TAB><TAB>' only takes seven seconds, not minutes, and
that seems reasonable to me.
Seven seconds sounds like a horrible user experience. I would lose
patience and start hitting ^C after around 3s.
It depends what you're trying to do. If you want install something in
the local directory, sure, it's awful. If you really do want dnf to
query the repo and tell you all the packages that match 'foo*' then
it's useful to be able to do that.
It only takes about 3s the second time, so maybe a lot of the time is
getting the results into the disk cache, not the network operation.
