Thank you for very much for a good point. We already played with this topic for DNF but that game was primary focused for RHEL and required by RHEL, therefore it was delivered to Fedora after many users already accepted DNF. If you type `man yum` you will get man pages for DNF with note that ` yum - redirecting to DNF Command Reference`. I think that this kind of approach can be used also for DNF5. You can also try `yum --help` and you will see `usage: yum [options] COMMAND`. Please all of those examples requires `yum` package installed.

DNF in early versions (1.1) provided a warning when `yum` was called. It was nice and transparent way how to send a message about redirection to DNF, but we got very strong negative feedback about that, therefore we removed it. I don't think we should repeat that approach. Personally I don't feel comfortable with education of our users using warnings, because they have value at first occurrence but then they are annoying.
