Description Daniel Mach 2020-08-03 14:40:30 UTC 
This is a RFE to implement Obsoletes in DNF stack.

Under normal circumstances, Obsoletes should be inactive.
The Obsoletes can be activated with:
* a command-line option
* a configuration option
* automatically enabled during system-upgrade

When activated, Obsoletes will:
* reset an enabled stream if it's just EOL and no obsoleting stream is specified
* switch to a new stream if an obsoleting stream is specified

The feature must be available in libdnf so microdnf and PackageKit can use it.

Changing version to 33.
