Thank God for yum-deprecated :-)

[kevin martin]

I'm with Jan...Thank God for yum-deprecated.  Been trying to get systemd
updated with DNF forever and it's been throwing an error about
fedora-release..yum-deprecated has it handled.  The whole skip-broken part
of yum makes it so much easier to actually do updates.  DNF's handling of
broken packages by stopping the update cold is worthless.

My $.02.
