Afaik, this is planned. Which tools/scripts are failing for you?

Comment 2 Attila Fazekas 2015-03-16 06:59:56 UTC

"Eventually, DNF (which, contrary to many jokes, doesn't stand for anything) will be renamed to Yum, even though it is not a drop-in replacement. "

afaik the plan is to rename dnf to yum, so most scripts does not even need to be modified.

As most of the existing end user scripts or application does not prepared to things like `ls rename` they are also not prepared for `yum rename`.

I suggest to have the symbolic link installed by default on the cloud image,
it makes easier for everyone create scripts/apps which support multiple distribution and distribution version.

That is no longer the plan.
