That said, I don't think alternatives makes sense for this case.
Me neither. We used this for /usr/bin/python3 in RHEL 8 and it's very bad UX
and requires custom hacks in scriptlets even in RHEL 9 to undo it. It's ugly
and hard to get rid of.
See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Alternatives/
"""
Alternatives MAY be used to allow parallel installation of software when:
the software can be used as a drop-in replacement and functions with
sufficient similarity that users and other programs would, within reason, not
need to know which variant is currently installed
"""
Not exactly the case here.
"""
AND
the selection of the software is only performed system-wide by the system
administrator and end users do not have a need to switch between the variants.
"""
Not exactly the case here either.
Happy to talk to you about other options next week. Just noting this now here
fast before I leave for a conference for the rest of this week.
