lesstif-devel:
  Obsoletes: openmotif-devel <= ...
lesstif:
  Obsoletes: openmotif <= ...

Only a properly packaged OpenMotif with a higher version number can bring back
"openmotif" and "openmotif-devel" for FC6 and later.

It has been a Core package. 3rd parties need to choose a version number
that is higher than in Core, anyway, and hence would not be affected by
the Obsoletes anyway.

However, they will see the implicit conflicts unless they re-package
their OpenMotif in a non-conflicting way.

Again, to emphasise my concerns: first link in bug #221083, a conflict is
bad.
