Well, my intention is based on this document

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages

I would expect you want the new package to be transparent to end users.
And since this breaks also our nightly builds, it would be great adding
it for us. We are those users as well :-) We are not there (Pulp V2 API)
yet, but I still wan't the installer to be working.

I am not sure upgrade of Katello will be even possible without this (I
mean CFSE v1.0 -> CFSE vNEXT). I just can't tell you what is the reason
for having this in Fedora Packaging Guidelines, I admit.
