I would actually hugely prefer we amend that to say `dnf --refresh
offline-upgrade download; dnf offline-upgrade reboot` or so. It's a
footgun as it stands.
Perhaps the dnf5 version could be just:
dnf offline-upgrade
(and it automatically does --refresh and it downloads and then says "packages
downloaded, ok to reboot into the upgrade now? y/n)" ?
And if you pass it 'download' or 'reboot' it only does those steps?
