Just a note for people searching the mailing list later:

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.
