They use different sonames, so parallel install will be probably the least painful way. Review requst for compat-readline5: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510022 After the package is accepted, I'll start patching the packages (except gnu-smalltalk and kdeedu) to build correctly with the compat package. Let me know if you don't want me to touch your package or want to use editline instead.
