Also at least yum stood for something - Yellowdog Updater, Modified - as opposed to being some nonsensical conglomeration of letters. The only thing I am aware of that dnf means is "did not finish".
The point of this thread is that the development apparently indeed Did Not Finish. ;-)
And it's an astoundingly pointless point, given that it was prompted by a post from its developer asking people to test it ahead of it being *potentially* included in Fedora as the default package manager *in more than a year's time*.
Clearly, he knows it isn't ready to replace yum yet. If he thought it was, he'd be filing a Change to replace yum with dnf, not writing a blog post trying to get slightly wider testing.
This is possibly the most useless thread I've ever seen on devel@, and that's some strong competition.
