+1 for reverting this

Currently dnf-yum package provide /usr/bin/yum to force users to redirect to dnf.
But unfortunately dnf doesn't find a local repo path, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1205341 .
I use a local repo to test all my packages in f22 VMs.
Shure, i can install packages by hand, but i have a lot of them and this slow down my daily work.
In addition of missing plugins (ie. version-lock) dnf isn't usable for me in this early stage.
I fixed that with downgrading/locking yum  to last working release.
In my opinion fedora should not force users to use dnf if so much things aren't working, currently.

Wolfgang
