Hi Kevin,

the conflicts can't be "fixed": system-config-date fails to work as a plugin for
old firstboot versions. If a conflict gives an "ugly error" to the user, this
error needs to be fixed in yum/pirut/whatever ;-). The old versions of firstboot
were shipped in FC2 and before, so only users upgrading manually (the installer
would resolve that conflict with the new firstboot version) from a version that
old are affected and in this case, they should be presented with it at upgrade
time, not later on with an ugly Python backtrace.

Come to think of it, there have been discussions to "streamline" system-config
tools for a later Fedora version, we might have to revamp the interface to
firstboot again -- in that case, the new system-config tools will conflict with
the up to now current firstboot versions as there is no other way to ensure that
only matching versions of firstboot are installed if (and only if) firstboot is
installed.

On that modes thing, I guess you're right -- if there is breakage people should
notice in the time between now and when we go final. I've built
system-config-date-1.8.92-1.fc7 with these changes.
