DNF5 can replace the current package manager in Fedora 41, as the proposal has been made and is pending approval.

Enhanced Performance: DNF5 promises faster repository metadata processing and improved package query operations, aiming to save users precious seconds during package management tasks.

Reduced System Footprint: By eliminating Python dependencies and merging the functionalities of DNF and MicroDNF, DNF5 offers a significantly smaller installation size, reducing metadata redundancy.

Unified Experience: Fedora aims to provide a consistent package management experience across all platforms, with DNF5 serving as the sole package manager for servers, workstations, and containers.

    Is it faster because its using the cache more effectively? Because I’m a chronic “dnf clean all && dnf update” type.
