| * Dropped ``--spec`` and ``--srpm`` arguments as automatic detection from file extensions is implemented now. |

This is probably a bad idea because there is no guarantee we can detect from file extensions. I've seen spec files with all kinds of crazy file names, and while it's not super-common anymore to see .spm or similar weird things for SRPMs, it's still possible since RPM allows reconfiguring the package filename template.

Hmm, interesting, I wouldn't think of that. This implementation of the builddep plugin is there from the beginning and I don't see any explicit request to do it in the automatic way, so we can definitely think about bringing back the original behavior. Could you create an issue for that please?

| * Metadata is now stored in different directories, see the ``cachedir`` configuration option :ref:`changes <cachedir_option_conf_changes_ref-label>` for more details. |

This command needs to exist for when users disable on-demand cache downloading.

The makecache command still exists I think this is just explanation that dnf5 stores cache at different location.

Yep, in this section there is always a list of changes related to an individual command. If the command is entirely dropped, it's explicitly stated here. I hope it will be better visible in the final HTML format of the docs, though there was already some confusion mentioned on the proposal discussion related to this "changes doc", so if you have a specific tip how to improve the situation, please share it with us 🙂
