They do conflicts. We do not maintain it anymore. We do no want to have bugs reports about package Y on mgaX about packages "that were obviously build by mga" (yes but for mgaX-10). In that case, it's even worse, as it would have been a mdv package on mga after mdv->mga upgrade And anyway this is a different case than obsoleting a library (though I do understand Funda's move about libdb and his intents)
