Would it be reasonable / acceptable to replace the /usr/bin/executable with a
script that checks for the freeworld exec and if present runs it, otherwise
runs the fedora one .. ?

(Any of this really defeats rpmfusion http://rpmfusion.org/FoundingPrinciples
of add-on packages and not replacements of fedora packages.)

I sort of think conflicts make most sense:
1. either you want one or the other for whatever reason (eg fedora audio spin)
  - any use case for having both installed, having 2x exes, 2x desktop icons
etc ?

2. you dont want to be upgraded between the two variants as updates are
released.

ps. by the way, and from distant memory, Fedora has a guideline mentioning
something a long the lines of:
adding stuff to support out of fedora packages isn't kosher (but I can't find
the exact mention of this).
