How do you define "same package quality" if it's an alternate

True.
And starting to get bug reports from J. Foo's Fedora
that has a drastically different kernel or glibc or ... is going to make
things very very difficult for developers.
Not for you, for whoever is maintaining the Alternatives pkg.
And when the alternative package has a subtle interaction with other
packages breaking them?
Yeah, not fun. This (hopefully) would be a rare exception (*fingers
crossed*)
