So, coming back to the steps needed for this to happen as discussed in the 
FESCo ticket, I think the first one is to decide how users can start testing 
dnf5 on "expendable" machines.

The proposal says that dnf5 can be installed in parallel with dnf. I think this 
doesn't highlight what things will be broken, as tools will still use dnf. 
Also, @zbysek asked in the FESCo ticket what data from the RPM database is 
shared between the two, but didn't receive a reply: say, as a user, I install 
dnf5 in parallel with dnf, will I be able to "dnf install foo" and then "dnf5 
uninstall foo"?

For those two things I wrote above, if in the end dnf5 will be renamed back as 
dnf to be a drop in replacement, wouldn't be better to have dnf5 obsolete dnf 
starting from now? I don't think anyone is going to test it on a production 
machine anyway...
