Hans, It would be nice if we did not loose any functionality, such as X11 font rendering, so having both versions of the tools that are able to draw x11 fonts and ones that don't drag in X11 dependencies would be desired. You probably remember that there was a similar problem with VIM [1] [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-January/msg01393.html Karsten was suggesting two conflicting subpackages, each of them making a symlink to /usr/bin/vim at install time (since there's no way for two subpackages to provide file with same name and different content AFAIK). Probably a more clever way would be to use alternatives(8) system.
