Nothing wrong with having a new version of Yum, especially when we have a new version of Centos with many strange differences (if not alien concepts) called C7. Keep it simple, besides Yum is a nice and very familiar name which we all trust and appreciate. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. England's place is in the European Union.

Having multiple and incompatible versions of Yum in the same software release is bonkers. Forget Dandies and be simply pragmatic. Everyone knows Yum but DNF (something to do with DNS ?) or Dandies or another load of weird ideas from Fedora people desperate to emulate M$ ? DNF = Dandified yum ? and not a single 'Y' in the name.
