This requires no code change in subman. Moving to ON_QA for verification against the updated libdnf.
Please understand that there is no subscription-manager code change required for the skip_if_unavailable=false behavior needed to make the yum experience on RHEL8 equivalent to RHEL7|6|5. I will use this ON_QA subscription-manager bug as a sanity test only to confirm that the change from libdnf Bug 1692452 which appears fixed in libdnf-0.22.5-5.el8_0 from 0-day advisory https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/40907 will work as intended with the RHEL8.0 GA version of subscription-manager-1.23.8-35.el8 from advisory https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/35738 I'll begin with the GA packages demonstrating the undesired behavior...

Consistent with RHEL7|6|5 behavior, the yum transaction no longer skips when the repositories (entitled through subscription-manager) is unavailable. The transaction ceases on the first unavailable repo encountered and exits with a non-zero exit code. Moving this bug to VERIFIED/Sanity Only
