Hello there,
I see, thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it. About yum being a placeholder, it totally makes sense. I guess I'll remove yum then, since I've started with dnf, and because i am going to be using dnf. Thanks again. Best regards. francisco.

Hello there,
Yes, the switch has happened indeed, since Fedora... 21? The point I'm trying to make is, why keep yum, since the switch to dnf
has
already happened? Even yum's plugins and extra utilities are still a thing.
The 'yum' package and executable on Fedora is just a placeholder. /usr/bin/yum is just a symlink to dnf-3. There is no legacy yum code installed. The package and symlink just exists for people who are used to typing 'yum', or they use 3rd-party software that runs 'yum' instead of 'dnf'.
You can remove the yum package, it won't change the way packages are managed on Fedora. It's just a helper package.
