 picking each.

 conflicting.

 This seems like non-trivial work for what should be a trivial test.  As
 Toshio points out, leeway for fixing explicit conflicts exists.  In this
 case, leeway was granted since systemd and upstart aren't expected to
 exist on the media come F-14-Final.  As I understand it, they are both
 present now as a temporary measure to ensure there is a fallback while
 systemd is tested.

 I recommend we don't change the test, but we continue to report this
 failure with the goal of correcting the problem at some point during the
 F-14 release.  I'd rather not go through large hoops to adjust the
 conflicts test for something that has been granted temporary leeway.
