The FC3 Release Notes say:
=============
RPM's default behavior regarding file conflicts in Fedora Core 3 has
changed. In the past, file conflicts (where a file from one
already-installed package also appears in a package that is to be
installed) caused the installation of the package containing the
conflicting file to abort.
In Fedora Core 3, RPM will ignore such conflicts, and the package
installation will proceed, overwriting any conflicting files from
previously-installed packages.

What's the rationale for this?
So, --force is default now? :-O
Above text was not included in FC3 Test3. I find it strange to hear
about such changes after a freeze.
