the same sort of people who complain about business numbers
bad because only a few hundret millions more income than
the year before

"dnf remove yum dnf kernel" ruins your system
yum don't allow that for good reasons

that's unacepptable behavior and was refused to change

dnf needs much more RAM currently while the feature page
pretends it has a smaller footprint - so it's not ready
or the feature page is a "would nice to be" not backed
by the reality

no idea what is your daily job, sysadmin obviously not

shell scripts are the Unix way and overall more efficient
just because you write tiny scripts for different tasks
and plug them together - efficient is not only a matter
of runtime measure
