I also remember RHEL8 where we ship DNF as YUM. And DNF is very similar to YUM - both are Python based tool. Anyway in RHEL9 the same tool is shipped as DNF, because it creates a confusion. And I don't want to experience the same issue twice. I understand that the name change is always not nice, but keeping the same name for a different tool is worse.

I'm using Oracle Linux 8 at work and some older scripts use "yum" and newer scripts use "dnf" this all just works.

What is the confusion that you are trying to avoid?

The only issue that I recall from earlier in the thread is that dnf version 5 is not feature complete enough to replace dnf version 4.

Is there any database that is corrupted if dnf v4 and dnf v5 commands are mixed on a system?
