I'm fine with using yum.conf if everybody respects it, but I didn't 
propose it because:
1) There are some options in yum.conf that DNF/PK doesn't recognize
2) DNF has some specific options in dnf.conf which yum doesn't support
3) PK/GNOME Software have ... well I'm yet to completely discover but at 
least they have some options controlled by gsettings! and some in 
/etc/PackageKit/ which is completely unique to itself!

So, I thought that maybe every package *likes* to have its specific 
settings method; and therefore I proposed to have a global configuration 
which configures main package manager policy.
