I'd love to see someone package Request Tracker:
http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ and keep it updated, but how
do you deal with dozens of dependent modules that aren't
included in the base system but might someday?  That is, how
do you keep third party RPM packages from conflicting with
the same thing that might be added officially by someone else
later?
