fedora-packager installs yum

[Christopher]

Installing fedora-packager pulls in yum as a dependency. Is this expected
on a system built around dnf and without yum already installed?

There's a controversial ongoing discussion. f-e-k needs a port to Python 3.

I was not sure what f-e-k is but after reading the bugs you have it backwards. 
the packaging tools are all python2 currently due to at teh least koji not 
being ported to python3. fedora-packager does not pull in fedora-easy-karma,  
but fedora-easy-karma uses parts of fedora-packager.  yum will be required for 
many years yet due to mock, additionally koji imports yum, that will have to 
change in order for koji to move to python3.  If people want to help get 
everything ported and running on python3 the help will be more than welcome. 
however yum will still get pulled in until epel7 is EOL.

I suppose the dependency on yum could be demoted to a Recommends in Fedora for
those packagers who have no interest in EPEL and really don't want yum
installed on their system for some reason.

yes it is expected and will continue to be the case for years to come,  why? 
mock, we will always use yum to make the epel 5, 6 and 7 chroots.
