--- Comment #29 from Josh Stone <[email protected]> ---
I want to highlight one suggestion that doesn't appear to have gotten a
response on the list:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/H43OUABJIIMI24NDB7SM7FHLLLOV4TSL/
> Can we make the x11 packages be named explicitly as compat packages (e.g. 
> prefixed with compat-)

If the new packages have a different name, with no upgrade path from the old
(obsoleted) packages, then this will eliminate the uncertainty about epochs and
such.

(I appreciate that you tested that upgrade in COPR, but it still makes me
uneasy as a technical solution.)

... and I just found this in comment #11:
> I can also submit the 2 packages with -X11 suffixes with a capital X (and 
> with no Obsoletes), e.g., kwin-X11, then they will be considered completely 
> different packages by RPM and DNF, and the discussion will be moot.

I think a mere capital change is too close and will be confusing to users, but
otherwise I think this is a good direction.
