Fedora 39 Looks To Use DNF5 By Default For Better Performance & Improved User Experience
I'm not sure, I'm not a dnf developer. It was implemented in C++, so it would probably have to be done differently in version 4. I belive dnf development is focused on version 5 right now, so adding features to version 4 is probably not a high priority. It would be nice to see it in version 4 so it could be added to current versions of RHEL and Fedora, but time is a finite resource. Perhaps you could implement and send a pull request, or at least file a bug to discuss it upstream?

What do you think of DNF?
dnf uses python only for command line functionality. Its core part, libdnf, is written in C++. However yes, dnf in my experience is still significantly slower than apt and pacman.

Python finally offloads some batteries
Lots of people use python apps and not know about it. I don't get where the idea that it's complicated comes from. You run them the same way as everything else. For example if you use anything redhat-based you're running a python app (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf). If you're running any desktop environment, you're likely using at least one python app or something with python scripting embedded.

Interesting: DNF has recently gained "Vendor Pinning" almost like on Zypper/openSUSE

Anybody else playing with dnf5 yet?
I saw that dnf-automatic is included in the scope of features to port from dnf v4 to dnf5 (sources: here and here), which I was very happy about since I use that extensively.
It looks like that one is mentioned in the same ticket as the transactions plugin... So hopefully they'll both get ported eventually

Fedora 38 released with RPM now using Sequoia-PGP (written in Rust)
It's C++ and should be in the next release (39).

Why is everyone all of a sudden using Fedora?
currently, no, but dnf5 looks really promising (video example) and is slated to be shipped in about a year
