Hopefully DNF5 gets in for F41, especially since it was supposed to get in as the default for the current release, F39. If anyone’s curious, here’s the vote for deferring:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3039

The reasoning for the upgrade:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceDnfWithDnf5#Benefit_to_Fedora

And the reasoning given by the DNF5 team for targeting F41 instead of F40:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/EYE2JY537OM7GFW46EK7YIBLHJ52USAZ/ (though fesco also wanted to keep it in F41 to not disturb the mass branching from F40 to RHEL 10)

And some things that need fixing before it becomes default:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/1057

And some commands that will be/are implemented:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/429

Personally, I just hope DNF4’s (what)provides comes back in full.

It has been a while since I used fedora. I believe the last time was fedora 31 and heard murmurings of a dnf rewritten in c++ to be faster. Glad they actually pulled it off.
