Conflicting -devel packages are an annoyance when you want a system set up
for local (including non-mock and especially non-RPM) builds.
True. But is this annoyance bigger than updating dependent packages
to load headers from a different location? Apparently many (most?) packages
will need to use the compat headers at least for now, so that cost
would be pretty high.
