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?
