I, for one, use quite heavily repoquery and repoclosure (and far from
only things in this "grab bag").  Others are likely to have different
requirements.

Hard to tell.  My "trial excursions" into dnf left me with a distinct
impression that this is much "work-in-progress" with a hard to read
documentation which is often incomplete and/or wrong (yes, corresponding
bugzilla reports were filed).  So far I totally failed to notice from a
user point of view any advantages of dnf over yum (speed was definitely
not one of those).  For dealing with rawhide dnf was decidely inferior.
It was promissing to be "command line compatible" with yum - with an
added qualifier "mostly" and what that may mean it remains to be seen.
Maybe one day this will happen.
