I've tried it myself, and it was fast.  yum is an alias that invokes dnf
even on an old obsolete Fedora 37 VM I had available.

We could mention that other package managers than yum should be
preferred in a "@quotation Note", due to a performance problem when
handling modern RPMs as those made by Guix; or we could close this and
wait for yum to have become completely irrelevant (which seems like in a
year or so, last I checked the RHEL end-of-life dates).

Is someone volunteering to add the note?  Or should we close this?

Thanks,
Maxim
