please don't do that
the yumdb is bloat because it contains a endless history and that's growing
on machines after 10, 20 or more dist-upgrades while currently it's easy to
get rid of that bload by just rm -rf /var/lib/yum/* and/or rm -rf
/var/lib/dnf/*
If they were merged, I suspect they'd add a command for cleaning up
history that you could use.
