IMO, 

upstream is not being proprietary or imposing anything.  And, no, the
"artificial constrains/requirements" argument doesn't fly.  Looking at the
upstream imlib2 specfile shows they simply chose to package each plugin
separately (a valid, but way-overboard packaging choice).  

Now, I can understand FE not following suit there.  What I don't understand is
why anyone would advocate FE purposely breaking compatibility with upstream
packaging in this regard (by not using Obsoletes/Provides), without a good
argument to do so.  

Heck, it's only a few lines added to the specfile.
