DNF is using "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" which is one reason more to finally 
rename it back to YUM when it starts to replace it instead demand users 
all over the world change working configs, but that's a different topic 
nobody cares about

if other sofwtare like Packagekit ignore that global options of the 
package manager just file bugreport for them

 >>> I wonder if having a single packages.conf is THAT hard!!!

for DNF, YUM, Packagekit and what not else?
surely, the same way hard to just proceed the configuration of yum.conf, 
they all would needed to be changed
