Ok, I might be asking a completely stupid question here...

Why move production stuff over to dnf at all? Isn't dnf's goal in life to eventually become yum? If dnf is "good enough" to start using it in production, should the discussion be around dnf -> yum transition?


I think that was dropped a long time ago. dnf isn't going to become yum in some sort of rename. It will be a seperate command and while its syntax will be similar it is not 100% (eg you won't be able to use a yum plugin to work with dnf)

Ahh, I hadn't seen that. Well, since the name is no longer temporary I would like to say that it's a terrible name :) 

Ok sorry for the noise, please continue.

Thanks,
