After half a decade of using dnf? It's aready ingrained in my muscle
memory and some of my ansible scripts. Flipping the name of most
important command every few years is really counter-productive, yum→dnf
transition was painful enough. I'm against inflicting such self-harm
again.
If you read the above, the DNF code isn't being changed or replaced. It will
still be there and in fact, YUM will only be a symlink pointing to DNF. That does
raise the question though of what will happen when you enter: yum --help or man
yum. Since we're using "powered by DNF", I would assume it would still reference DNF.
I believe in a round about way, they are just saying that they don't want to change
all the documentation that references YUM.
