that is not matter of rawhide or not and has nohting to do with usecases

* the background yum/dnf proess is running
* any dnf/yum command comes with a mystical "wait for something you have not ordered"

that behavior is the same as all the years ago with yum-cron
the only difference is that yum-cron are additional packages
and so that behavior don't live in the defaults
