Don't worry, that's not gonna happen. Hawkey has been built on top of libsolv
library that implements a different solver than yum uses. Under no
circumstances will this change. The more likely scenario is that gnome-
software/PackageKit will be forced by the policy to use the old yum which
will
make future adoption of dnf much more difficult.
So, do I understand you correctly that you as Yum/Dnf guys would be ok to
have a different backend for GUI and non-GUI use cases as mentioned in
this thread and agreed by FESCo previously? I'd be more than happy to
see your sign off for this change and state this too there.
