With regard to Conflicts, the policies apply to all branches.
There are still open bugzilla tickets filed long ago with packagers
not taking action on resolving implicit conflicts. Now with this
openal incident, an explicit Conflicts tag is added as what seems
to be the first choice due to laziness or so.

Replacing packages does not need any Conflicts, but just a proper
Obsoletes/Provides pair.

Explicit Conflicts are a general problem. They are not specific
to this package. And bugzilla is not good for discussions.
