Aren't we talking about YUM being a symlink to DNF? If that is the case, I don't believe
staying "aligned" is going to be easier - since it is indeed DNF and not YUM. I was under the impression
this was a rebranding; and that ship has sailed years ago. Which also begs the question, why isn't
the rest of the RH distro ecosystem using DNF?
The irony is not lost on me that a big part of the reason DNF has been
adopted in other Linux distributions is because it's not called YUM
and wasn't attached to the stigma of that name, and after having that
happen, there's now people in RH/Fedora who want to rename DNF to YUM.
I'm not aware of that being a big part of the reason, but I am aware of the negative connotation that YUM
has had in the past... and the rebranding effort helped mitigate that. I don't understand why people appear
to have some sort of emotional connection to the name YUM. DNF has been around since 2013... 5 years later
and we're discussing changing the name?
