The point where compatibility becomes an issue is the use of old packages or third-party packages that don't Provide versioned virtual packages to fulfill the requirements of Fedora packages.  Because Fedora package dependencies must be fulfilled entirely by other Fedora packages as a matter of policy, this potential incompatibility really only affects packages that are intended to replace a Fedora package. Those would need to be built with the improved ELF dependency generator in order to satisfy the requirements of Fedora packages.

sounds horrible because Obsoletes/Provides in noarch-packages won't be longer enough to override useless dependencies

Can you provide an example?  I'm afraid I don't know what this means.
