Should perl-devel Obsolete perl?

Hi,

Another issue related to the perl-devel split out:

The files having been contained in "perl < *-14", now are 
distributed through "perl+perl-devel"

IMO, perl-devel >= *-14 therefore should 
Obsoletes: perl < 4:5.8.8-14
to guarantee an update/upgrade without functional regressions.

Unfortunately: Such a change has dramatic effects on yum: It causes yum
to iterate through all perl(...) deps.
