so this means you can't have more than one version of the same piece
of software? a stable version, *and* a bleeding edge version? or am
i misreading that?
you mean co-existing packages?!
as in /usr/bin/yum and /usr/bin/yum-2.1.99 or something like that?
that would often not be easy to do, as it would be required to
relocate package contents, rename man/help pages, modify startup
scripts, and things like that...
