I think the first is preferable; the main case where you get a kernel
without the drivers package is when you're building something intended to be
small, and going downwards isn't the way to really do that.
Oh (#2), and here, dnf actually differs from yum. dnf protects
*none*
of the packages. So that's definitely a bug and I'll report it once we
know exactly what behavior we want (so that yum and dnf will do the
same thing).
Apparently this is by design in dnf; it's one of the features they didn't
see as valuable. Which is funny to me because that was the case with yum
initially too (we wrote it as a plugin for that reason) but over time it
became a core feature).
