Okay, so you have dnf list but you also dnf repoquery. The latter is more powerful but why does dnf list even exists then. Then you have dnf repo list and dnf repolist which must be two different subcommands but they do the same thing, I believe. Why?

Is it the usual backwards compatibility thing or does DNF try to do appeal to everyone that way? I don't get it.
