Please do not call people that like command consistency "zealots".

>From a system administration point of view, if dnf implements largely
the same common command interface as yum, it would be MUCH better if it
the command-line utility continues to be "yum".  It was annoying when we
went from "up2date" to "yum", but there was good reason (they were not
at all CLI-compatible).  If the common (aka commonly-scripted) CLI
commands are the same, especially "<foo> install <package>" and "<foo>
upgrade", it would be much nicer to people that manage dozens or
hundreds of servers (where they won't all be upgraded in the same time
frame) to NOT arbitrarily change the name.
