First, thank you for putting together such a detailed proposal.
Having all the dependencies listed allows a proper evaluation of how
things are going to work during the upgrade.

Second, I think that the lack of support for dnf5 in some areas is
going to be painful: in particular, as long as Anaconda and PackageKit
depend on dnf-3, we're going to be in a strange state the basic system
tools use two different versions of the code, and perhaps more
importantly, use two different databases of information about
installed packages.

But, third, I think we should do the switch. Dnf5 is some aspects
significantly better than dnf-3, so users will really benefit from
the switch. And we cannot and should not maintain the situation where
the dnf team is working on two different versions of the code. We
need to switch to the new thing and devote the resources we have
to making it work great.
