This is the first time I heard of DNF.
Looking at the page where differences between DNF and yum are explained (http://akozumpl.github.io/dnf/cli_vs_yum.html) my question is: do we really need DNF to replace yum?

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that DNF is no more than yum with some different standard behavior and a couple of new command line options. So why replace yum? If those changes are good why simply don't change standard options in yum or add those new commands to yum?

look like it starts to happen again: a replacement which is not ready

please realize that a drop-in replacement *first* needs to be *really*
drop-in and not "somehow like", otherwise all the things you may make
better are worthless

and yes "yum remove kernel" is a *minimum* to handeled properly

there are people maintaining RHEL5,RHEL6,RHEL7 and Fedora machines
guess how abused they are if they have completly different behavior
because dveleopers tend to call anything they don't like to implement
a "border case"
