How does RPM fit into DNF's view of "the whole software management stack"?
RPM is a slug (moves very slowly): no parallelism (at any point all packages
with no remaining predecessors could be updated/installed in parallel),
not even manually pipelined (decompress to memory, manipulate filesystem,
update database.)
Parallelizing software updates or installations would be *begging* for
pain. It would be difficult for me to recommend strongly enough
against this.
