--- Comment #5 from Lyes Saadi fedora@lyes.eu --- I'm back from testing, this does not seem to be working, it is indeed getting the obsoleted package upgraded: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lyessaadi/obsoletes-testing/.
I think the policy wasn't meant for packages replacing older packages with the same name, and that it is simply ambiguously written.
Maybe fedora-obsolete-packages would be the way to go ? Anyway, since that doesn't seem to be such high stakes, I'm okay with getting this approved despite this point since it isn't a rename in the way the policy expected it to be. You can consider that MUST item to be approved.
