As I mentioned before I only auto completed yum, remove is not party of 
the auto completed commands. If remove should be there, then this is a 
bug. I will file one.

dnf has no auto completion and I have only seen reference to erase. The 
man page of dnf does not mention remove (it mentions 'group remove'). 
This should probably be added. I will file a bug on that one too.

As a side not 'dnf --help' shows:

'--version             show Yum version and exit'

which probably also is wrong.

This is by no mean any excoriation of the dnf devs on my part.

Three documentation "bugs" out of a side track of a thread is not a 
terrible thread, in my opinion...
