Hi,
I'm sorry for a confusion, it wasn't meant like real "rename of a
package", I did not know internals for the change, for me it was
"renamed", but as Matthias explained, it was not a package rename.
No problem, but doesn't change much with regard to my opinion.
_Replacing_ existing packages is also covered by the packaging
guidelines,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_...
including an explanation how to handle the "Obsoletes" and
"Provides".
Even the case when to add only "Obsoletes" is commented on.
