--- Comment #9 from Petr Pisar <[email protected]> ---
Michaeal, you are mixing two independent things.

One is conflict, which is here regardless any possible replacement. You can
never know user's package set (e.g. upgrading into stable distribution will
bring perl without the Obsoletes). If the conflict is there, it should be
declared. It's much friendly to hit the problem sooner while solving
dependencies than any later on file system level.

Other one is replacement. In this case there is possible replacement. But this
is only hint for dependency solver to select better choice.

I'm really sorry yum is so archaic it cannot offer more solutions as other
package managers can. But this not excuse to sweep known conflicts under the
carpet. Especially in this case where it does not make things worse as you
already pointed.
