The last time I added a package repository to a template with dnf I had to manually download and import the key. Now dnf seems to handle that automatically. Does that sound correct?
Yes. It is a dnf5 plugin. You can disable it if you like:

For background, it was conceived very recently (around February 2025).

I hate how ādnfā is going the Python way and introduces changes that are not backwards compatibleā¦ Paint me disappointed

As someone who had maybe 10 casual contributions to DNF5 in its last release, I can take some of the blame 
But seriously talking, it is getting better. It is still in heavy development.

I really appreciate your work 
Andā¦ we end up with the need for different instructions for dnf5 as seen on the Brave browser install page.
My point is that if there was a new command, ādnf5ā, with a new syntax, it would be OK.

I think itās necessary to forget any expectations of former behaviourā¦ this ālow priority rfeā blew me away: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/1985
It seems that āAssume nothingā is the only policy. Full marks to the reporter for having such a careful, security-oriented workflow.
