maybe people just have enough of repeated iterations every few months breaking compatibility left and right while it would have been possible to replace/improve things without breakage as said repeatly in that thread: go ahead and propose to rename GNOME3 because it is no longer GNOME go ahead and propose to rename Linux because 3.15 is no longer Linux 1.0 and that changes where much bigger than a fork of YUM renamed for no good reason especially in context of replace it
