I'm CCing the Workstation list here. I'm actually not sure that
inclusion of DNF on Workstation is intentional.

That being said, I doubt that having DNF installed by default would
change the amount of testing it gets. Anyone who actually knows that it
exists is fully capable of running 'yum install dnf' (and if they don't
know how to do that, they're *probably* not going to be a terribly
effective tester of DNF).

I wouldn't call it "quitting yum cold turkey", either. Even when we make
the switch to DNF-by-default, yum is going to remain in the repository
(though on life-support, not actively developed). So it's still there
for people to fall back on if DNF truly can't meet their needs.
