yeah - i would prefer to make the switch to dnf. is it "safe" to just symlink dnf to yum on RHEL/CentOS 7?

Another way is to add a shell alias for dnf.

yum/dnf

On RHEL7/CentOS7, “yum install dnf” works fine as long as you haven’t disabled the extras repo. Or “yum install nextgen-yum4” to get yum4 as a symlink to dnf.
