It does indeed. This circles back to a discussion several months ago on this list about tiered repositories, best practices, etc. We've known for a while that this would come up, but before it was mostly just discussion and theory. Now we're looking at putting it into practice with deliverable content.

So was/is there a theoretical resolution of how to handle tiered/alternative packages either where concurrent installations conflict or where concurrent installations are desirable along with a way to distinguish which instance you want to run. In this context, I'm not sure it is even relevant whether or not these packages come from different repositories.
