I'm afraid not. From the very beginning, we were sending a clear message that
we will be as compatible as possible in terms of CLI but we never wanted to
have just another yum. If that was the case, we wouldn't call the project
differently.
I am concerned that the yum-to-dnf transition is confusing, because of
this mixed message. On one hand, they are just two package management
tools: on a high level, they do a simple, well defined job of updating
your system to the latest version of available packages. In an ideal
world it just wouldn't matter which one you use, and from that point of
view the name change is superfluous: all you need to do is 'yum update',
and calling it 'dnf update' is just a tiny annoyance that is not
bothersome enough to be worth bothering about

nobody cares about the annoyance

while the original promise was "dnf will be a fork of current yum and later renamed back to yum" this no longer bothers anybody and it was decided that user confusion is no problem as long as developer egos are fine
