This, please do not invent some generic name and be forced in 10 years
to rename yet again with the same arguments.

Either keep the dnf name:

- and update all documentation basically with s/yum/dnf/g
- and make sure it's big in the release notes
- and provide a yum frontend with compatibility warnings

or rename dnf to yum and call it 4.0:

- and warn programmers that the interface has changed
- and make sure that obsoleted options warn of changed defaults

My preference is the latter, basically because I don't see the wins
in the first case, FWIW.
