That seems counterproductive.  If there are updates to be had then dnf needs to find them and apply them.  Blaming metadata timing
to result in no updates is a dodge and needs to be corrected.  If not seeing available updates is not considered "a real update
problem" then what is?  Yet another place where dnf will need to improve before becoming a yum replacement.
