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.
