That argument contradicts this quote from the feature page: | letting system administrators (including users who routinely manage | their packages using the legacy Yum) perform all common packaging | operations using DNF, with no or minimal and documented change to | the command syntax, apart from replacing the command name. The user interface can't both be so similar that the difference can be described as "no or minimal change", and at the same time so radically different that every user must be made painfully aware of the change. -- Björn Persson
