Actually it is. The "pretty much" part is exactly the reason why to change the
name. If we didn't, a ton of users who are not reading this conversation would
start filing regression bugs. If we set their expectations right, warning them
that yum is no more, they are far less likely to do so.
wrong
* you get that regression bugs anyways
* the only thing what you are doing is spread confusion
in case of "set their expectations right"
* why was GNOME3 not renamed
* why was KDE4 not renamed
* why was Apache 2.4 not renamed
the only expectation a user has is that behavior don't change
and features / options are not removed and called "improvement"
