I'm worried about replacing it at all. I'd like to see them coexist
until we can get things rewritten, but it also says their databases are
separate which will possibly cause other issues so that's also likely to
lead to different problems.

I took a stab at converting my test-dnf-transaction script yesterday,
and the changes so far are not anywhere near compatible with dnf v4, and
I didn't manage to get it working yet.
