Hopefully you don't write professional software with this kind of attitude. We don't live in the seventies any more, we moved on and start making things better. We introduce safety features in nearly every area of our life, like cars, planes, trains and even guns (you need to unlock the gun before you can shoot in your foot). In none of these areas you can simply do dangerous things, all professional and modern systems ask you up to four, five times if you are really sure when you try to do dangerous things. This is how professional software should act like nowadays and that behavior is what I would expect from a yum replacement. If DNF reaches this kind of professional level, fine, replace yum. If not, don't replace yum with DNF, simple thing. Regards Thomas -- Linux ... enjoy the ride!
