As long as the alternatives issues are straightened out first.  The 
following bug was an F7Blocker until emacs-22.0.99 was removed from 
F7/downgraded to emacs-22.0.95-1.fc7 that is currently in rawhide:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239745

I have verified that emacs-22.0.95-1.fc7 (the one currently in 
rawhide) works properly with glibc-2.6-2 (due in rawhide tomorrow), so 
upgrading to 22.0.99 for that reason alone appears unnecessary.

So I would say that these are the choices:

1. Don't put emacs-22.0.99 into F7, and keep emacs-22.0.95 instead.

2. Put in emacs-22.0.99 without the alternatives /usr/bin/emacs 
changes which cause the regression of having no /usr/bin/emacs at all 
after upgrades.

3. Fix the scriptlets in emacs-22.0.99 to that a /usr/bin/emacs will 
exist after upgrades.
