If you believe this, then rpm shouldn't permit it. Since rpm permits it,
it should have a way to undo it, too.

I believe there is a reasonable use case for doing this. In a development
shop, I'd like permit multiple developers to build and test a specific rpm
simultaniously, without having to play games with either the name or the
version, since all of these may have other effects on various build,
install and configuration scripts.

I guess I can prefix the name with a developer name and hope for the best,
that's the only option which is left...
