Perhaps a 'dnf-is-dnf5' providing the dnf command as a symlink to dnf5
(taking inspiration from debian's python-is-python3) would work as a
stop-gap, so people who want a system with just dnf could install that
package as an alternate dnf provider ?
Rather than a `dnf-is-dnf5` package, we are working on a COPR repository to ship dnf5 and dnf with obsolete directives. The packages will be built from dist-git (therefore following fedora versioning) and will be suited for testing dnf replacement. I see this as a good chance for testers and daily users.
This COPR repo will be ready by the end of next week and I will announce it on fedora-devel.

Alternatively making dnf install as dnf4 + provide dnf as an
'alternative' config, and making dnf5 provide dnf as an alternative
config with lower priority would likely also work ; but that probably
requires modifying the dnf package first to avoid conflict.
