Is the new database going to be able to support yumdb use cases as well?
Might be a good time to get rid of separate rpmdb and yumdb and merge
them together.
please don't do that
the yumdb is bloat because it contains a endless history and that's
growing on machines after 10, 20 or more dist-upgrades while currently
it's easy to get rid of that bload by just rm -rf /var/lib/yum/* and/or
rm -rf /var/lib/dnf/*
