And in those cases, you should use Conflicts, you just need to provide
rationalization to the appropriate Fedora Committee and have a comment:

e.g.

# When ypbind is older than 1.6-12, the initscripts explode horribly.
# ypbind is not required for initscripts to function.
Conflicts: ypbind < 1.6-12
