Without sudo or `-C` command-line option dnf will download copies of all

"Retired" means it has no maintainer willing to fix a package build

I can't speak to the implementation of this, but I am in favour of the
approach in general, with one caveat: I think it is important to
implement this in a way that makes it possible for users to keep

I have sympathy for such proposal, but the implementation does not
respect all the possible corner cases.
1) It does not reflect, that this is not just about retired packages,
but also (or mainly?) about subpackages, which we don't retire.
