well, *i swear* "package-cleanup --leaves --all" did not output anything 
except the deperation warning after upgrade and reboot

now it lists packages - interesting

they can't seriously expect replace a car by a bike
"autoremove" is not dnf specific and works completly different

what scares me is that DNF was introduced in F22 with all the stupidity 
renaming instead just keep the name and raise the major version as it 
was promised at the very first begin of the story and now a release 
later there are still a ton of things are not there

where i work we call a replacement so when it has the same capabilities 
and semantics and until that happened we don't replace things

no, don't come with the "it's free software" because the replace every 
few months things with half baken other things and permanently changing 
semantics is the main reason people don't switch to Linux - frankly, i 
can't recommend anybody switch from Windows to fedora when i know that 
after people learned how to deal with the system needless, user visible 
changes are introduced
