But in Fedora land, we've spent several years selling the message "yum is gone and replaced with this new thing called dnf". It would be rather confusing to suddenly start selling the message "oh hey yum is back only now it's sort of dnf but sort of not dnf". It's different from the EL situation because EL never really had the "dnf is the new thing" phase. If you're going from EL 7 to The Next EL you're just going from yum 3 to "yum 4". -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/PQJL44FE6COGDYCDUXJMTTQQPVDZORDP/
