Having done a few mass updates using DNF over the last few months, I have noticed that their depsolver handles complicated messes better than yum did, and can proceed with partial updates where yum used fail entirely.

If you use `dnf upgrade --best` you get the yum default behavior, which will fail when there are broken deps - just like yum did.
