IMO I think we'd be better off adopting the texlive versions of the
packages, rather than doing a half-and-half job on this by packaging
individual upstreams. The reason being that Fedora then benefits from
the integration and testing work done by the texlive team. The texlive
xdvipdfmx, for example is (I think), ahead of the 0.4 "upstream"
release.

Ok, no problem with obsoleting a Fedora package with a TeX Live
variant if you, as a package maintainer of it, wish to. I will add
Obsoletes for xdvipdfmx.
I'm presenting a complete list of packages shipped in TeX Live to
discuss another possible obsoletions:
dvipdfm
dvipdfmx
getafm
lcdftypetools
psutils
t1utils
xdvi
dvipng
xdvipdfmx
If you think that also some of these packages in Fedora should be
obsoleted, please let me know and I will do so in the next TL repo
update.
Thanks,
Jindrich
