Thanks for the URL. Is there some hope justified that the plugin will be enabled by default at one point? How did yum manage that without plugin?

I still think that this should be the default behavior but atleast it is going to solved in some way. With sufficient users voicing their opinion, perhaps it will be just merged into dnf itself.
