Because it's not just about new packages, so just dropping a package which grows a file conflict isn't a good solution as that leaves the end user holding the bag. Also a new package may have perfectly valid files/provides but an existing package has the improper one, so why penalize the new correct package because of the errors of an existing package. Just dropping the package again hides the problem instead of fixing it. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
