  Is that wrong thing to ask maintainers to have versioned Obsoletes?
If yes then we got a bug against rpmlint's warning message
"unversioned-explicit-obsoletes"
Whose description is given as->
The specfile contains an unversioned Obsoletes: token, which will match all
older, equal and newer versions of the obsoleted thing.  This may cause update
problems, restrict future package/provides naming, and may match something it
was originally not inteded to match -- make the Obsoletes versioned if
possible.

So what is the correct way for handling above rpmlint warning message?
May be i am wrong in my understanding. Kindly correct me.

Parag.
