Is this thread on alternatives to alternatives also relevant: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/... ?
Modules provide a mechanism for system level switches between alternative versions as does Petr's proposal (i.e. sudo required). As others have remarked, there is also a need for a similar capability at the user level (without sudo; e.g. environment modules) or even at the shell level.
It would be nice if there were a compendium of all similar options for Fedora.

Hello,
as it seems that module build infrastructure isn't getting any better, as modular YUM repositories are going to be deconfigured https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_default_fedora-repos-modular, there is a time to look at different ways how to package alternative content.
best regards
