How about "Replace Yum 3 with Yum 4, powered by DNF"? This would bring
us in line with what's happening in the Enterprise Linux space.
I'd prefer to replace "powered by" with some simple non-ambiguous wording.
"powered by" might mean that yum calls dnf under the hood, or some
other complicated relationship. "YUM4/DNF" can be used to underline that
they are the same thing.
What about just calling the change "Fully replace yum3 with dnf / yum4"
and having a sentence like "DNF and YUM4 are the same thing" ?
