one said "forever", i am not a native english speaker but IMHO
that word has a clear definition

* do not insist on removing it
* removing it some time far in the future

you can have one of them :-)

i have not heard any valid reason to call a software DNF instead just
the next major version of YUM which is millions of times mentioned
and well known everywhere - *forget* DNF as name - you won't revert
the fact that everybody translates it to "Did Not Finish" beause
it has no senseful meaning and so finally you can call it "yum-ng"
and in the history ng-replacements did not change binary names
