I am +1 for keeping the 'yum' name for the new manager, if only for the 
connotation. 

Telling users/consumers/customers that yum is upgraded and awesome is much 
easier than telling them that yum has been replaced and that the new tool is 
awesome. 
Even something like 'yum4' would be preferable to a new acronym to learn. 

Thanks,

I don't think so. You are clearly arguing for a temporary compatibility wrapper 
but eventually forcing everyone to use dnf as the command. The other side is 
wanting yum to continue to remain the name for the command with yum-legacy for 
temporary transition. In otherwords, dnf is an internal project name and 
doesn't need to be exposed to the user. The analogy to systemctl doesn't work 
because systemctl is part of a completely separate project that works very 
differently from service command while dnf is a experimental fork of yum with a 
few fairly minor differences in command line and configuration options.
