Why would we want to support parallel installation of something
that isn't available? I don't understand the question.

Again, I don't get your point at all. libXScrnSaver is packaged in
Fedora already.

PS. Obviously, English isn't your primary language and there's a
communication barrier here, because I don't understand what you're
trying to say at all. Please try to be clearer, maybe by phrasing
your questions in a different way. Alternatively, you can come talk
to us on IRC. Real-time communications usually yield better results.
