I just spoke with two members of DNF team about default usage of DNF

First I would like to state that you can already optionally use DNF in your mock by
setting:
config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf'
I've switched back to Yum for now.
I expect that we will be building Fedora 22- always by yum due to
short Fedora life cycle. Yum will be still present in
Fedora 24 for sure.
Is DNF within Mock a fully compatible replacement for Yum yet?
It seems builds take much longer now since something's downloading
(or redownloading?) lots of data for each build job before setting
up the buildroot. I don't have much time to look into it, bug shouldn't
Mock's buildroot cache files be fresh enough to avoid redownloading
packages, for example?
