In fedora, easily. In RHEL, I still don't know if it is done, but I
filled a bug. (In both case, Jindrich is the maintainer, but it seems
that changing something in RHEL is much more complicated).

It will lead to a conflict unless something special is going on.
If your package is for EL-5, then having the obsolete in RHEL6 shouldn't
be impossible, since if it is in fedora, it should be inherited by RHEL6
package, if it branches from a a fedora package with the obsolete.
