It is the opposite. It is _you_, who would need to look under the hood
and figure out the exact behaviour of RPM and related package tools. See
whether the behaviour is well-defined. Talk to the developers and find out
which problems and pitfalls they are aware of and how they want to handle
them.
Alternatively, come up with a new definition of how RPM and related tools
ought to handle Obsoletes tags and related update/upgrade/downgrade
scenarios, and convince the developers that changing behavior would be
worthwhile.
Does it really not lights up some bulb inside your mind? .. maybe at
least
some small spark?
Enough is enough! It's sad you've had to turn that way. I've got something
