I still disagree, since dnf is not the sole user of curl/libcurl.
Making libcurl tiny for containers is one thing, but replacing a
commonly-used command with an intentionally-limited version is bad.
IMHO that doesn't just go for curl/libcurl, or just the libcurl FTP
support (I definitely think IDN support should be everywhere practical).

I think curl is the only FTP client installed in a minimal config, so
dropping that support shouldn't be taking lightly.

At a minimum, I think there'd need to be buy-in from other distributions
to have a common set of functionality in the base.  Otherwise, this is
just going to result in "curl in Fedora is broken, use Ubuntu" type
psts.
