> While during these crazy times it feels like Fedora transitioned from Yum to DNF yesterday, it's already been a half-decade since the DNF package manager has been the default on Fedora. Next year with Fedora 38 they are looking at further evolving package management by way of MicroDNF.

To be fair, dnf replaced yum for quite some time now. However yum is still recognized as a command (but symlinks to dnf).

DNF is itself being replaced: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MajorUpgradeOfMicrodn...
That probably explains why I didn't know about dnf; I only rarely use CentOS, so if using "yum" worked for basic things, then I wouldn't even have known it was calling dnf.
urpmi was never developed nor adopted by Redhat/Fedora/etc.
urpmi was developed by Mandrake/Mandriva in a time where rpm had nothing similar to apt-get.
Also DNF replaced yum 7 years ago. This is hardly news.
I swear, every time I use a RPM based distro, there is a new package manager.
