Barring contingencies, dnf has been approved[0] as the default package manager for Fedora 22 and subsequent releases. dnf is effectively a complete rewrite of yum and the underlying dependency solving logic, so it's a substantial change. If you have been using it, and especially if you've been following bug reports[1], you probably know that the behavior of dnf can differ[2] subtly or surprisingly from what we've come to expect from yum. Because of the potential confusion, I propose that we make documenting dnf a priority for the F22 release. Specifically, the System Administrators Guide deals with package management the most, but essentially *every* guide will have scattered yum invocations. Let's branch each guide slated for F22, work through the changes, then review and merge the branch. The System Administrators guide is going to really need some special attention, as it should probably address all the quirks and snags that users will run into. This is an excellent opportunity for new contributors. For most guides, the changes required are very straightforward. It would be a closed-ended endeavor and a manageable time investment - *if* we start soon. If you're able to take on a guide, please reply.
