Rather than a `dnf-is-dnf5` package, we are working on a COPR repository to
ship dnf5 and dnf with obsolete directives. The packages will be built from
dist-git (therefore following fedora versioning) and will be suited for
testing dnf replacement. I see this as a good chance for testers and daily
users.
This COPR repo will be ready by the end of next week and I will announce it
on fedora-devel.
