Can microdnf and dnf co-exist? If so, maybe the non-desktops should
just include microdnf along side dnf? Or is this potentially a trap
where microdnf can also fail for the same reason (i.e. it's not dnf,
it's the size of the repo metadata)?
Yes, booth can co-exist. It was proposed at the blocker review
meeting[1] to ship microdnf by default for all spins aimed at
potentially low memory machines.
