My concerns are:
1) Why 269 and not 2.69?
Just a naming convention, if needed can be easily changed
There is no need to complicate stuff by removing the dot. The naming convention
for compat packages is to include the version:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#multiple
2) Is the parallel installability worth the trouble of different
names?
It is up to us to discuss this.
How are most of the packages in Fedora using? Is it spelling out "autoconf" in
the spec file, or trough some configure scripts? If it is the second, I worry
that a command will mean patching (or sedding) would be required.
