look like it starts to happen again: a replacement which is not ready

please realize that a drop-in replacement *first* needs to be *really*
drop-in and not "somehow like", otherwise all the things you may make
better are worthless

and yes "yum remove kernel" is a *minimum* to handeled properly

there are people maintaining RHEL5,RHEL6,RHEL7 and Fedora machines
guess how abused they are if they have completly different behavior
because dveleopers tend to call anything they don't like to implement
a "border case"



Reindl makes a very good case here against the adoption. The last thing we
want is to cause confusion in the community. It may be very wise to wait and
give the community more time to absorb dnf. I confess that it would be a
learning curve for me to use this command: I could imagine the headaches it
would bring others with much more pressing deadlines.

my 2 cents,
I don't understand what the learning curve is? It works exactly the
same as yum. Typing 'dnf' instead of 'yum' is a learning curve?

I'm confused.

Dan
If is a drop in replacement for yum - then why not call it yum, then there is "no" learning curve.

Also at least yum stood for something - Yellowdog Updater, Modified - as opposed to being some
nonsensical conglomeration of letters. The only thing I am aware of that dnf means is "did not finish".
