So, should we:
1. provide a compatibility symlink so older versions of
     nodejs-request aren't broken at all

2. add Conflicts to nodejs-cookie-jar specifiying the older versions
     of nodejs-request that it will break

3. do nothing; if you install only part of a single bodhi update and
     it breaks you get to keep both pieces

Another option is to say that a rename of a node module is not what the rename guidelines call a "compatible enough replacement" which would mean the new package would not provide the old name, but would still obsolete it.

Any packages that depended on the old name would then need to be rebuilt to depend on the new name and yum would not allow one to be updated without the other.
