"yum update" and "yum upgrade" have always meant the same thing.

"yum upgrade" = "yum --obsoletes update"
or
"yum upgrade" = "yum update" with "obsoletes=1" in yum.conf; but
"obsoletes=1" is the default

"apt-get update" is the same as "yum|dnf makecache" but with yum|dnf
you have to remember to use "yum|dnf -C update" (given dnf's new cache
behavior, it seems to work from cache without "-C").
