On behalf of the DNF team I'd like to invite all the interested Fedora users in trying out and testing DNF in Fedora 20. DNF is a tool that aims to fully replace Yum by Fedora 22. Please check out the blog post for more information:
A question, I found the following on http://akozumpl.github.io/dnf/cli_vs_yum.html
"dnf erase kernel deletes all packages called kernel
In Yum, the running kernel is spared. There is no reason to keep this in DNF, the user can always specify concrete versions on the command line, e.g.:
dnf erase kernel-3.9.4"
So if I issue 'dnf erase kernel' all kernels will be removed, and I have no kernel anymore? Is that really a good thing? Should we not spare the running kernel? Or is there some rationale behind this that I am missing?
