Wait, are we talking about integrating distro upgrade support into
PackageKit/gnome-software, or into DNF itself?

If the latter - i.e. there's nobody on the DNF team who will have time
to work on integrating system-upgrade stuff - I'll happily volunteer to
write patches...

I really don't think it'd be hard to move dnf-plugins-fedup into DNF
and/or dnf-plugins-core. It's really, really simple - like ~240 lines
of code, most of which is implementing offline updates + plymouth
output support. (for comparison, fedup-0.9.2 is ~2450 lines of code.)

Also - doesn't fedora-upgrade require yum? Isn't that supposed to be
deprecated?
