We do have Guidelines that prohibit Conflicts in many cases: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts However, the FPC recently (in the last year) added this general exception: " However, if neither upstream is willing to rename the binaries to resolve the conflict, AND the binaries are not viable candidates for alternatives or environment modules (incompatible runtimes), as long as there are no clear cases for both packages to be installed simultaneously, explicit Conflicts are permitted at the packager's discretion. Both packages must carry Conflicts in this case." which this case seems to fall under. -Toshio
