I agree, this needn't block F37, but I still think that this should be fixed. Unless I use microdnf, I cannot upgrade my VPS with 1GB RAM that happily hosts my home page, which is quite a bummer and a bit of a shame to be honest.
Are you trying to "dnf update" everything at once or "dnf update" one package after the other?
I am asking, because several years ago, the latter was the only way to update a system, which only used to have 512 RAM. It typically did not "bomb out" with dnf crashes, but with some package's installation process underneath of dnf running out of memory.
As I understand the current problem, it occurs just during repodata initialization. So what DNF operation you're doing won't matter. Only what repos you have configured.
