I have even opened FESCo ticket https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/798 to say on that because personally I think it's unacceptable and projects with such bad behaviour should be forced 
to learn playing with the rest. At least we still can add conflicts in our packages when we have to deal such changes because in my case Eclipse is totally unusable and I consider this as the only
possible way to have working Eclipse package if ibus is not changed.
