+1 on both points.

"yum" as a name never made a lot of sense to me either (I know it's
derivation), but you could probably say the same for a lot of common
commands and utilities. The UNIX tradition was for command names to be
short and easy to type on a Teletype ASR33, in the days before GUIs.
Hence 'ls', 'ed', 'cd' (originally 'chdir' until that was considered
too long :-) etc.
