No. The pipewire subpackages don't *replace* the Jack and PulseAudio packages, they are an *alternative* implementation - which is why Conflicts are correct, and Obsoletes / Provides are not. When / If the pipewire implementations are to actually replace Jack and PulseAudio on all systems, using Obsoletes and Conflicts will be the appropriate thing to do. Until then, they will both be available for users to install. It's a bit more tricky to set up correctly in the packaging, but it actually lets users switch between the two (which would not work at all if one of them Obsoleted the other).
