Namespacing RPM package names is only a tip of the iceberg. You need to
namespace RPM requires, provides, shared library sonames, shared library
symbols, header files, header file symbols, pkg-config files, manual pages,
cross references in the manual pages, executable names etc. You need to
namespace everything if you aim for a parallel installability. That's the
reason why modularity does not tackle it and instead conflicts the concurent
versions by filtering the packages from the concurent streams.
