We are open to ideas. I think in this situation there is no perfect way how to 
satisfy everyone. We have thought about this for several months. Renaming dnf 
back to yum might seem like the best option at first (it was our original plan 
too) but when you carefully and deeply think about this, keeping dnf and yum 
separate is really the least painful choice. So far I haven't seen a single 
strong argument against it that would satisfy needs of all the involved 
stakeholders.
