In general, I would prefer that we avoided Conflicts whenever possible.
The Packaging Guidelines do permit them in cases of compat packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Compat_Package_Conflicts

However, in this specific case, I'm comfortable with that approach. I'd
like to see this change happen immediately in Rawhide and a rebuild done
of ypserv to resolve the licensing concern.
