Sure, pedantic, but true, there are /some/ exceptions.  compat packages
where no other reasonable approach will work, and ways of marking a
package incompatible with other versions of packages (but not versions
in the same release of Fedora!!).  Open bugs aside, the rpm.org vs rpm5
scenario wouldn't be granted an exception to the Conflicts rule.
