IMHO, yes. Some projects require developers to run autoconf to pregenerate 
the scripts, so they will need to be able to work with more than one 
version.

Past autoconf compatibility packages in Fedora have always worked like this, 
with suffixed names.

What we could do is adding an additional autoconf2.69-unversioned-commands 
subpackage with unversioned symlinks, Requires: autoconf2.69, and Conflicts: 
autoconf. That would bring us the best of both worlds: parallel 
installability for end users, and an easy porting procedure 
(s/^\(BuildRequires:[ \t]*\)autoconf/\1autoconf2.69-unversioned-commands/g 
*.spec) to get a package to build in Mock/Koji.
