You should still be able to exclude the package in the dnf config:
$ cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
...
exclude=fedora-obsolete-packages
We really should have made this better announced/documented.
Basically we are switching from 'I go and install
fedora-obsolete-packages and have opted in to it' to 'I have to go
explictly exclude it to keep my obsolete packges'.
:(
Oh well, can we at least common bugs it?
