Is it what was intended?
Well, yes.
That was what was going through my head, but it sounds like for the 
average user, they are intending something different.

The goal is that if someone does a
   yum install yum-conf-4x
It will install yum-conf-4x, and remove yum-conf

I'm pretty sure I tried "Conflicts" and yum wouldn't install it because 
it conflicted.
I'm not positive, because I haven't tested it, but maybe if I do a 
"Provides: yum-conf" that might do it.

It will take some testing.  I'll put it on the slate for 4.5.
