This is "more consistent"?
I think I'm getting what you mean now. I'll think about it and perhaps
disable the excludes for erasing, probably with a warning that the
excludes are being ignored.

I'd looked at the commit, and seen the note in cli_vs_yum.rst about how
yum "only respects excludes during install/upgrade" but nothing
suggesting that excludes are only name based now.
Yes, as that's described in the manual pages for 'dnf' command and
'dnf.conf' configuration file format. I have not added a paragraph about
only applying to names to the document that highlights the changes yet,
as it is entirely possible I'll add this if there's a bug report for it.
This document focuses only on the differences between DNF and Yum that I
consider permanent, bugs and relevant RFEs not included.
The part about
"yum \"only respects excludes during install/upgrade\"" is taken from
'man yum' itself.
