As described in the comment, there is a dnf equivalent of this command that doesn't require us installing yum-utils (which drags in yum on dnf-only systems such as f23) This is a small consequence to this -- due to us not installing yum-utils some installs will now be completely yum free. This causes a breakage in ironic-agent 99-remove-extra-packages where we remove the yum package. There is a long-standing bug/feature where missing packages in a group of packages do not cause yum/dnf to exit with failure, but uninstalling a single package will. Because we have made the systems yum-free, the uninstall of yum can fail in this corner case. It has always been like this, so I'm in favour of the "ain't broke" approach. To work-around this, I have just put yum into the existing list of packages to be cleaned up. I have added a note to the yum installer taking note of this behaviour for future reference.

yum
Provide yum specific image building glue.
RHEL/Fedora/CentOS and other yum based distributions need specific yum customizations.
Customizations include caching of downloaded yum packages outside of the build chroot so that they can be reused by subsequent image builds. The cache increases image building speed when building multiple images, especially on slow connections. This is more effective than using an HTTP proxy as a yum cache since the same rpm from different mirrors is often requested.
Custom yum repository configurations can also be applied by defining DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF to a space separated list of repo configuration files. The files will be copied to /etc/yum.repos.d/ during the image build, and then removed at the end of the build. Each repo file should be named differently to avoid a filename collision.
