It obsoletes Yum
and provides its own <code>/usr/bin/yum</code>, a short script that redirects
to <code>/usr/bin/dnf</code> with an appropriate warning message that DNF is
the preferred package manager now. Notice that upgrading F21 to F22 will not
cause the compat package to be installed so will not disturb any upgrading
users.
This is kind of sentimental, and I think possibly Seth would not have liked
to have a big deal made of it, but... I guess I'm going to anyway. I would
like to keep the "yum" name in remembrance of his contributions. This also
seems like the easiest path for all of the documentation, scripts, and user
habits out there. I don't mind if the backend package is called "dnf", but
why not keep /usr/bin/yum as the primary command and just do the right
thing, only warning on incompatible usage rather than nagging every time it
is used?
