we will need to have extensive testing of building epel5 epel6 epel7
f20 f21 f22 builds using dnf to populate the buildroots before we can
think of switching mock used in koji to using dnf for resolving. we may
be forced to stay with yum for some time yet if things do not work with
the older epel releases, or we may need to have builders in different
channels for doing different tasks. I really appreciate not breaking
koji.  another good reason to not switch the default just yet is that
it may yield different results to what you get in koji.
