This is exactly what I was referring to in my previous comment: 

A lot of words talking about Software Collections, but no definition of what
they actually are and no explantation of how they are supposed to interact with
rpm.

I am having no doubts any package, no matter what it is, will find its users ;)

However, provided there is no actual documentation on what this package
actually does, ... any guess of mine would not be fair.
