I think I'm getting what you mean now. I'll think about it and perhaps 
disable the excludes for erasing, probably with a warning that the 
excludes are being ignored.

Yes, as that's described in the manual pages for 'dnf' command and 
'dnf.conf' configuration file format. I have not added a paragraph about 
only applying to names to the document that highlights the changes yet, 
as it is entirely possible I'll add this if there's a bug report for it. 
This document focuses only on the differences between DNF and Yum that I 
consider permanent, bugs and relevant RFEs not included.

The part about
"yum \"only respects excludes during install/upgrade\"" is taken from 
'man yum' itself.
