As a runner, DNF already has a specific meaning for me. If you're picking random letters for a project to avoid existing collisions, you might also consider tossing the set back into the bag they have a well-established meaning in other domains. Just saying - it might do well to change the name to something with positive or at least neutral collateral meaning. "yum" probably had some positive benefits in this regard.
"Yum" has sentimental value and is practically a trademark, so
- yuma - Yellowdog Updater, Modified Again
- yum2 - Yellowdog Updater, Modified II
- yumrelo - Yellowdog Updater, Modified Reloaded
- yum-ng - Yellowdog Updater, Modified NG (Next Generation)
- yum-ak - Yellowdog Updater, Modified AK (Ales Kozumplik)
- yum-novus - Yellowdog Updater, Modified New
- yummy - Yellowdog Updater, Modified My
How about:
fu - Fedora Updater. fum - Fedora Updater, Modified.
fu has a positive connotation: "fu, a particle or suffix that can mean "intensity" [1].
Or, we can just forget about any connotation, like apparently we did when coming up with "fedup".
LOL - Is this supposed to be a play on words / accronyms?
