The yum to dnf transition was supposed to be the “the old API was so
horribly broken that we had no choice but to throw it away and design
a new API completely from scratch” event.

Every software project gets one of those (1).

Demand another, and users / downstream developers will (rightly)
question why the project’s developers weren’t competent to ensure
their first API rewrite didn’t preclude the necessity of any others.

A flippant retort is not an appropriate way to handle this criticism.
