Detailed Description
DNF-2.0 is the next upcoming major version of DNF package manager. Unfortunately, it brings some incompatibilities with previous version of DNF (DNF-1) which were either needed to preserve compatibility with YUM CLI or where bigger redesigns were needed. A list of identified incompatible changes can be found here[1].
Benefit to Fedora
New major version of DNF brings many new features and bug fixes. Moreover, the support period of older versions is reaching its end.
