Hi guys,

the dnf-automatic command will be obsoleted.

Oh, sorry about that. This portion of the text was inadvertently altered during the review process. I've already corrected the text on the wiki.

The dnf-automatic command will still be available, now provided as a plugin and functionally compatible with dnf4. Although the configuration files' location has changed, it will be documented in the dnf4 vs. dnf5 changes documentation.
 
Thanks,
Jan

Not that I know of. Yes, we do use dnf-automatic all over the place. ;(
