Obviously, if maintainers went around inserting Conflicts with other packages because they don't like how the other package works, then there'd be an order of magnitude more unpleasantness on fedora-devel. Not liking the way libguestfs works is no justification for an arbitrary grub2 Conflicts in the grub package. It sounds like there are issues which necessitate the Conflicts - e.g. the grubby issue - but that they could be resolved. Can we focus on those issues, what exactly they are and how folks can do to help resolve them?
