This, please do not invent some generic name and be forced in 10 years
to rename yet again with the same arguments.
Either keep the dnf name:
- and update all documentation basically with s/yum/dnf/g
- and make sure it's big in the release notes
- and provide a yum frontend with compatibility warnings
the problem is you can't update all documentations out there
that is an ongoing problem - there are here and there howtos
for setups built with more than one component and if it
comes to changes here and there without a very good reason
the step-by-step howto becomes invalid
or rename dnf to yum and call it 4.0:
- and warn programmers that the interface has changed
- and make sure that obsoleted options warn of changed defaults
My preference is the latter, basically because I don't see the wins
in the first case, FWIW
+1
a new major version always indicates that there may be some
*well justified changes* and thats why major.minor.bugfix
exists - sadly these days more and more projetcs ignore this
vesioning by missing knowledge or not care and follow google
chrome
