This appears to have no effect on dnf group operations?

```
[root@ragnia ~]# dnf --setopt "clean_requirements_on_remove=False" group remove 
"Cinnamon Desktop"
Last metadata expiration check: 2:25:11 ago on Wed May 10 10:42:51 2017.
Dependencies resolved.
Error: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: 
dnf, systemd-udev, systemd.
```

I tried editing /etc/dnf/dnf.conf as well with the same results
