Reindl makes a very good case here against the adoption. The last thing we
want is to cause confusion in the community. It may be very wise to wait
and give the community more time to absorb dnf. I confess that it would be
a learning curve for me to use this command: I could imagine the headaches
it would bring others with much more pressing deadlines.
