TL;DR version...
IMO we only need to clarify what "conflicts" means and what actions CPAN
tools should take.
We talked in the Consensus Dome about the need for and meaning of the
"conflicts" relationship in the CPAN::Meta::Spec.
https://metacpan.org/module/CPAN::Meta::Spec#Prereq-Spec
IIRC the conclusion was...
* We need it.
* It's not clear what it means. (I don't recall what the confusion was)
The difference between "A conflicts with B op VER" and "A breaks B op
VER" and "A superflous B".
* Let's see what Debian does.
Or MacPorts, HomeBrew or pkgsrc :P
