Well, it would be _so_ easy to not release the datanommer package until
the needed python-datanommer-models package will be available:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/datanommer
Introducing a confusing Conflicts tag (even a versioned one) can be
avoided in this case, too. It would be weird to push datanommer to stable,
if things will move/change/be replaced afterwards anyway.
Thanks for all your ideas and suggestions. Hopefully the packager (Ralph
Bean) has tracked this thread. In any case I will give him a hint.
