I'd go with alternative-for(nodejs-bin). There's even code in dnf that will
tell you the options if you try to install nodejs-bin (unless the metapackage
is called that).
You can try it out in RHEL 8. But the code made it to dnf5 as well [1].
$ mock -r rhel-8-x86_64 --dnf-cmd install python
...
No match for argument: python
There are following alternatives for "python": python2, python3.11,
python3.12, python36, python38, python39

Nice! Now I'm glad that I asked, so I do not reinvent the wheel.
Is the alternative-for(X) mentioned anywhere in docs, or is it one of
those tribal-knowledge bits?
Maybe in dnf docs? I don't really know. Maybe this needs a documentation in the
Fedora packaging guidelines. When to use it etc.
