I just wanted to remind folks that FESCo would really like for us to
finish up guidelines for conflicts (and Conflicts:) soon. Not much
has happened to the draft since it was presented.
The discussion I actually recall revolved around the suggestions in
the "Conflicting Files" section:
man pages should probably go into different "sections" (like
Coin2-devel and Inventor-devel) instead of being renamed.
I recall objection to using "alternatives" for conflicting binaries.
There's probably plenty I don't recall, however. We really should try
to finish this up and present it to the various committees next week.
