I would like to have 3.23 and 4.1 coexist for a while.  Can I do that

If the MySQL RPMs are built as relocatable packages, you may get away with it...

Might be interesting to grab the .src.rpms and see what you can do with the .spec to make them coexist. Your biggest points of conflict are going to be the binaries and the init scripts.
