Err, I already did report them:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209862
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209864

I was simply trying to provide input to the ongoing discussion about how 
surprising it can often be to users used to yum.

It was also born of a certain amount of frustration at the end of a long 
morning doing battle with dnf where many of the things that I had to 
workaround are things which I know have already been stated to be 
deliberate design choices and which I therefore didn't feel were worth 
reporting.
