1. Is there a yum compatibility test suite? It dnf is supposed to be a 
drop-in replacement, not having one would seem grossly silly and should 
be treated as "full stop show stopper".

2. If dnf is supposed to be a drop-in replacement, a more reasonable 
approach but to force dnf upon all users by brute force, would be to 
apply "alternatives".
