In recent Fedora releases DNF has stopped complaining when it's invoked as "yum". /usr/bin/yum is provided by the package dnf-yum, produced from the source package dnf, so apparently at least the packagers of DNF know about it. It was discussed on this list last June. The renaming to DNF never happened in RHEL/CentOS. It's Yum in RHEL 7 and (I hear) it will be Yum in RHEL 8. Presumably the reason for this is that the sysadmins who manage RHEL systems like continuity, dislike pointless renaming, and really hate having to remember to type "dnf" on some servers and "yum" on others for no good reason.
