This reminds me of something else that wasn't clear to some FESCo
members yesterday.  The wording around dnf being required can seem to
imply that you require dnf to replace yum across the entire system.
>From my understanding, that isn't required and people only need to use
dnf if they wish to use the playground plugin.  Is that correct?  If
so you might want to clarify the wording in the requirements section.
