Not in Fedora.
The only one I'd be concerned with is RHEL5, but I think even that
works right, no?
I haven't tested it, but based on my experience with multi-arch file
conflicts I *guess* it will not work on RHEL 5.
Sharing identical files between packages has always been allowed in rpm,
that's not an issue.
The bugs in RHEL 5 (and older) have to do with conflicts NOT getting
reported in some situations, notably on multilib systems when packages
with conflicting files get installed in a single transaction the
conflicts go ignored, but when installed in separate transactions
conflicts are raised on the same files.
