How hard would it be to make dnf do the rpm transaction inside a proper system-level service (transient or otherwise)? This would greatly increase robustness against desktop crashes, ssh connection loss, KillUserProcs, and other damaging goofs. I once hosed a RHEL5 system when an ssh terminal running yum died. Sigh.
